Research Focus
|
|
I
am interested in many aspects of ecology, including conservation
biology, population dynamics, invasive species, and life-history
strategies. My research focuses on invertebrates, particularly moths (Lepidoptera)
in temperate forests, their predators, parasitoids, and pathogens,
and the interaction between caterpillars, their host plants, and
environmental factors. However, many questions that interest me are
not specific to this fascinating and diverse group of organisms, but
apply broadly to the fields of community, population, and
evolutionary ecology.

Note to prospective graduate students:
I
encourage graduate students to pursue topics of their own interest.
Prospective students with a variety of backgrounds in entomology,
ecology, invasive species, or conservation biology are urged to
apply. Please contact me if you are interested in graduate
research in my laboratory.
