Grady Johnson is an undergraduate researcher in the Mizumoto Lab. His interests in biology are primarily rooted in the relationship of morphology to behavior. His main topic of study is the relationship of termite body-wing size ratios to nesting habits.
His current research involves the comparison of collected morphological and behavioral data between species of termites to determine trends in size in relation to their behavior. Specifically, the behavior in question is nest building methods.
Ultimately the broader questions that interest him involve the question of how such diversity of behavior can emerge from morphology and how such diversity of morphology can emerge from behavior. This ultimately sheds light into the nature of how morphology and behavior intertwine and impact each other in evolution.
