Dr. Adolph’s research focuses on the physiological, evolutionary, and behavioral ecology of lizards. His lab investigates topics such as stochastic population dynamics in Xantusia lizards, optimal foraging in arboreal lizards, physiological ecology of lizard eggs, and thermal performance curves. Past projects include tuatara conservation, tarantula locomotion, and lizard thermal biology.
The articles of Dr. Adolph span thermal biology, ecological modeling, evolutionary adaptation, and statistical methodology. His work often integrates mathematical approaches with empirical data, emphasizing interdisciplinary research in ecology and physiology.
Dr. Adolph collaborates with researchers like Lars Schmitz (Claremont McKenna College) on lizard ecology. He has mentored undergraduate researchers such as Arman Khasru and Callie Dawson, with publications frequently involving student co-authors.
