Subject areas: Ecology and Evolutionary Biology

Area(s) of Specialization

  • Population biology, community ecology.

Our lab works at the intersection of population and community ecology, focusing on how species interactions and climate change jointly influence population dynamics and distribution patterns.  

Work in our lab focuses on four questions:

  • How does the impact of species interactions on populations and distributions change with climate?
  • Do responses to climate and species interactions vary systematically across broad spatial scales?
  • What are the mechanisms by which other trophic levels or guilds elicit population-level responses?
  • How will rare plant and animals respond to climate change?
