Brooke A Grubb

Dr. Grubb is an integrative biologist whose research bridges ecology, evolution, and conservation biology to protect aquatic biodiversity. Her work uses a combination of field-based ecological studies, genomic analyses, and spatial modeling to investigate how environmental factors, phenotypic traits, and genetic mechanisms interact to shape species persistence and evolutionary trajectories. Much of her research centers around freshwater crayfishes, a highly diverse but imperiled group in North America but she is expanding her expertise into marine systems with a focus on barnacles through collaborative efforts at GWU.
