Judge, Kevin - MacEwan University - Department of Biological Sciences

个人简介

Kevin Judge completed his B.Sc. and M.Sc. at the University of Guelph and then a PhD at the University of Toronto Mississauga. After working on the mating system of the bullfrog (Lithobates catesbeianus) in Algonquin Provincial Park in Ontario for his M.Sc., Kevin made the switch to working on sexual selection, or competition over mates, in the fall field cricket (Gryllus pennsylvanicus) for his PhD dissertation. He followed that up with a postdoctoral fellowship at the University of Lethbridge working on the evolution of aggressive behaviour and weaponry in North American field crickets.

研究领域

Studying the interaction between ecology and sexual selection to shape the mating system of insects in the genus Cyphoderris, a group of orthopterans with sexual cannibalism. Studying the evolution of weaponry and aggressive behaviour in North American field crickets (genus Gryllus). Side projects include: morphological differences between gregarious and solitary Mormon crickets; geographic and temporal variation in sexual selection in bullfrogs; aggressive behaviour and weaponry in Madagascar hissing cockroaches; condition dependence of sexual attractiveness in mealworm beetles; differential maternal allocation in field crickets.
