PhD Students

Graduate students are key collaborators in the Elias lab. Graduate students in the lab have worked on projects ranging from comparative physiology and biomechanics to behavioral and evolutionary ecology. Our lab works in a variety of systems (particularly arachnids) in both field and laboratory contexts.
