At the Luna Lab, we study how species adapt, diversify, and persist—or go extinct—in a changing world.

Our research combines ecological and landscape data with genomics technology to understand how species and populations respond to environmental change and how these processes shape genetic diversity, adaptation, and long-term persistence.

We have a particular interest in small populations and endangered species, with much of our research focused on birds; however, we are interested in all kinds of organisms across the tree of life.

The Luna Lab is coming to the Department of Biology at the University of Arkansas at Little Rock in Spring 2027.

We invite you to explore our site to learn more about our research and our mission. If you are interested in joining the Luna Lab, please feel free to reach out through our Join the Lab page.
