I study the ecology and evolution of communities on our rapidly changing planet.

  • How does environmental change impact community composition and function?
  • How do species interactions influence community structure and stability?
  • How do networks of species interactions influence ecosystem resilience?
    •
    To research these questions at ecologically relevant scales, I work across academic disciplines to collect and statistically integrate high-resolution data spanning remote-sensing, biodiversity, and physiology.

    This transdisciplinary approach has helped shed light on the complex system of mechanisms that support ecological resilience, including seed production, seed dispersal, and drought tolerance.
