Professional Information
Population, community and evolutionary ecology; life-history evolution; disease ecology; limnology
We focus on questions at the interface of population, community and evolutionary ecology. At its core, our research focuses on how biodiversity arises, how is it maintained, and what is its functional significance from the scale of organismal traits to ecosystems. Our lab focuses on three related areas of inquiry:
- How do ecological and evolutionary processes interact to shape life-history variation?
- How do feedbacks between genetic and species diversity influence metacommunity dynamics?
- How do ecological and evolutionary processes interact to shape the distribution and abundance of disease?
