Research Interests

  • The assembly of ecological communities in space and time. I develop and apply ecolgical theory to improve our understanding and conservation of biodiversity. I work primarily on plants and birds, but I also apply a cross-taxon perspective when searching for generality of community patterns. My field work primarily focuses on the role of fire and other disturbances in shaping community structure.
