Members of Curry Lab at Villanova University studied evolutionary, behavioral, and conservation ecology of passerine birds—including especially hybridizing chickadees—as well as ecology and behavior of herbivorous jumping spiders (yes, there is one such species).
Lab head Bob Curry retired from Villanova in spring 2024. He is now a Professor Emeritus.
Bob formerly taught undergraduate and graduate courses in ecology, animal behavior, tropical natural history, and conservation biology. He supervised students conducting research in conjunction with the B.S. and M.S. degree programs, including its combined B.S./M.S. program.
