Education & Professional History
University of Colorado at Boulder, PhD
Amanda Hund is an evolutionary ecologist interested in the interactions between hosts and parasites. Her lab studies how parasites shape host evolution, immunity, and behavior, and how hosts in turn shape parasite biology and transmission. This includes work with swallows, butterflies, and threespine stickleback fish and often involves fieldwork. She is currently starting up a new project studying parasite transmission with stickleback fish, copepods, and common loons on Vancouver Island.
At Carleton since 2022.
