Jim Barnett

Jim is interested in how morphology and behaviour evolve in response to multiple (often conflicting) selection pressures. Much of his research focuses on visual ecology, predator-prey dynamics, and the behavioural ecology of amphibians. Jim received his BSc in Zoology from the University of Reading (2008-2011), has a MSc (R) and a PhD from the University of Bristol (2011-2016), held previous postdoctoral positions at McGill University (2016-2018), and joined McMaster University as a postdoc in 2019. Currently, Jim is primarily working on poison frogs and glass frogs to ask questions about polymorphism, transparency, and the evolution of mimicry.
