I study how environmental variation (in space and time) affects the biodiversity and functioning of ecological communities. Laboratory, mesocosm, field, and data mining studies are used with seasonal wetlands (primarily vernal pools and rock pools) to address questions at all ecological levels (individual to ecosystem).
My students and I research wet and dry phase taxa, including bacteria, algae, plants, invertebrates, and vertebrates. My research also encompasses conservation ecology, food webs, metacommunities, latitudinal gradients, spatiotemporal linkages, eutrophication, species invasions, restoration, endangered species ecology, and disturbance ecology. |
