The Kozak lab uses genetics and genomics to understand reproductive trait evolution to gain insight into how species form and are at risk for extinction. The lab uses a combination of experiments, field collection, and bioinformatic approaches. Current projects in the lab involve the genetic and epigenetic basis of adaptive (or maladaptive) responses to climate change in Lepidoptera (moths and butterflies).

UMass Dartmouth provides a PhD program in Integrative Biology and a MS program in Biology. Located on the south coast of Massachusetts, the University is less than 60 miles from Boston, Cape Cod, and Providence RI.
