Ecology, genetics, and evolution of species interactions

My research bridges the diverse questions and techniques from community ecology, genetics and evolution. Although my interests are broad, all aspects of my research seek to understand the dynamic interplay between the ecology and evolution of species interactions, particularly as it relates to plant-animal interactions (read more).
