I study the ways that plants and animals interact with each other, their environment and with us. Most of my work takes place in novel landscapes significantly altered by humans such as urban forests, residential yards and farmland. My interdisciplinary work uses field, lab and modeling-based approaches to answer questions that span across scales and taxa. My ultimate goal is to provide data-driven recommendations for homeowners, land managers and conservationists to help preserve biodiversity in a rapidly changing world.
Research topics: urban ecology, food webs and trophic relationships, behavioral ecology, plant-animal and tritrophic interactions, network analysis, conservation, nonnative plants, novel ecosystems, stable isotopes, data science |
