The Kemp Lab studies how biodiversity is shaped by global change phenomena through time and across space.
We integrate paleobiology with ecology, evolution, and conservation to understand extinction, diversification, and colonization dynamics in vertebrate systems.
By studying the past, we understand the present, and prepare for a better future.
Dr. David Ledesma successfully defended his Ph.D. dissertation, “Changes in central Texas herpetofauna during the late Quaternary: An examination of lizards and salamanders from Hall’s Cave.” Congratulations Dr. Ledesma!!
In our lab, we value and respect all people and the diversity that each person contributes.
