Introduction to research
My research program focuses on questions about the importance of spatial dynamics to populations and communities. It addresses theories that are central to conservation and the maintenance of biodiversity, and combines field, laboratory and theoretical components. Many of these projects are collaborative, as described on the pages for each topic area.
My work focuses on four major topics:
(1) I am interested in metacommunities, the role of spatial dynamics in ecological communities. Ongoing research investigates the factors that maintain species diversity in both laboratory and field systems. This work also re-evaluates and challenges existing community theory that was developed for closed local communities. Recent directions include investigating the effects unidirectional dispersal and disturbance on spatial communities.
(2) Conservation of threatened animal species. My lab has worked extensively on the Valley Elderberry Longhorn Beetle and is currently working on Tricolored Blackbirds. These projects aim to better understand regional population survival using knowledge of local and regional dynamics.
(3) The ecology of organismal movement. Collaborative projects developed an integrative conceptual framework for considering the movement of all kinds of organisms. I conducted an extensive literature review to identify what studies of movement usually study, and how they can be improved. In the long-term I would like to integrate the biology of movement into population and community ecology in more complete ways.
(4) A long-held interest of mine is developing and testing theory about metapopulations. This work uses microorganisms (protozoa and bacteria) in laboratory microcosms and theoretical models as tools for testing and improving ecological theory about mechanisms of persistence.
(5) Spatial dynamics of wooly bear moths and its host plants in collaboration with Rick Karban. The project aims to discover how food web structure and population dynamics integrate across patchy habitats.
