Tyler Brown

Tyler Brown is a Postdoctoral Researcher affiliated with Dr. Stellwagen's Research Lab at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte. His research focuses on arthropod evolution, employing novel behavioral and genetic methodologies. Current work investigates behavioral and silk phenotypic plasticity in Keroplatidae glow worms and Theridiidae spiders, building on prior studies of sexual conflict in Opiliones (harvestmen).

Research Interests: Tyler’s work bridges evolutionary biology and ecology, emphasizing phenotypic adaptation mechanisms in arthropods. He combines experimental field observations with genomic analysis to explore how environmental pressures shape behavior and morphological traits in invertebrates.

Lab Affiliation: Active member of the Stellwagen Lab, contributing to interdisciplinary studies on arthropod biodiversity and evolutionary processes.
