Assistant Professor of Life and Environmental Sciences, University of California, Merced
My research interests focus on how ecological and evolutionary processes, and their interactions, may affect responses to environmental change in plants. I use a combination of observational and experimental ecological data, genetic markers, and statistical modeling to address a variety of questions about plant population ecology. My long-term goal is to understand how dispersal, patterns of genetic diversity, and life history interact to influence the vulnerability or resilience of species to global environmental change.
