About
A bacteriophage, or a tropical tree?
I study the evolutionary ecology of species interactions like pollination and herbivory, in the context of questions such as, how does adaptation differ when driven by biotic vs. abiotic factors? And, are species interactions more important at lower latitudes, and could that help explain high tropical biodiversity? To address these questions, I use both fieldwork with plants and experimental evolution with microbes.
