Expertise: Ecology, Evolutionary Biology, and Conservation Biology
My research laboratory integrates population, community, and ecosystem-level processes across scales to understand determinants of species diversity and ecosystem properties.
Research in my lab addresses both basic and applied ecology and currently follows two main themes:
- Patterns and processes of biological invasions across scales
- Drivers of species and trait diversity in successional metacommunity mosaics
Our research group addresses basic and applied questions in ecology, with a focus on community ecology, spatial ecology, and invasion biology.
Research:
- Species diversity and ecosystem properties in metacommunities
- Invasion
- Succession
- Diversity and Ecosystem Function
- Trait-based invasive species risk assessment
