Fred Nijhout is broadly interested in developmental physiology and in the interactions
between development and evolution. He has several lines of research ongoing in his
laboratory that on the surface may look independent from one another, but all share
a conceptual interest in understanding how complex traits arise through, and are affected
by, the interaction of genetic and environmental factors. 1) The control of polyphenic
