Research Interests
I am interested in how anthropogenic-driven disturbances affect the eco-evolutionary dynamics, biodiversity, and structure of native communities. Much of my work has focused on population and community responses to climate change and the addition or removal of invasive species. My current work combines invasion ecology and climate change to inform land management by modeling the current and future abundance distributions of invasive plants in eastern North America.
