Welcome! I am a Professor in the Department of Biological Sciences at California State University- Sacramento. Previous administrative duties have included Chair, Assistant Chair, and Graduate Coordinator. I teach ecology, statistics, and science communication courses.
My research lab focuses on how environmental variation (in space and time) affects 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 a variety of taxa, including bacteria, algae, plants, invertebrates, and vertebrates. Topics bridge basic and applied ecology, which include spatial ecology, conservation biology, food webs, eutrophication, fire retardant effects, species invasions, restoration, endangered species, parasitic plants, and disturbance ecology. |
