Jamie M. Kneitel

Chair & Professor
Department of Biological Sciences
California State University, Sacramento
​
​I study how environmental variation (in space and time) affects the biodiversity and functioning of ecological communities.  I use laboratory, mesocosm, field, and data mining studies with temporary 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 food webs, metacommunities, latitudinal gradients, spatiotemporal linkages, eutrophication, species invasions, and disturbance ecology.
