mapped population distributions along riparian corridors

CURRENT RESEARCH

I am interested in the interplay between ecological and evolutionary processes.  For my dissertation research, I use a dominant riparian cottonwood tree (Populus angustifolia) to approach questions about genetic divergence in response to water cycling regimes, how interactions between plant genetics and soil microbial communities may mediate plant responses to stressful conditions (drought), and how incorporating genetic variation into models can lead to better spatial predictions of range shifts and ecosystem function on the landscape.
