Current Research and Publications
Research interests:
My research focuses on understanding the processes that structure biological communities. I work in a range of natural and labouratory-based systems that are comprised of a wide variety of taxa.
Past and current specific research projects:
- Structure of pitcher plant inquiline communities
- Macroecology of North American lichens
- Community structure and assembly of tussock grasslands
- Modelling abundance-occupancy relationships
- Community structure and ecophylogenetics of epiphytic lichen communities
- Spatial ecology of sand dune plant and invertebrate communities.
