We are a diverse group of ecologists studying evolutionary, population, & community ecology. We take a holistic approach that integrates mathematical models with innovative field and laboratory experiments and long-term observations to identify the ecological and evolutionary factors that generate and determine the structure and dynamics of communities and maintain biodiversity and ecosystem processes.

News-Flash

- New paper led by former star undergraduate Lillie showing how warming affects density-dependent regulation of populations! (News release) 
- Ever wondered what temporal structure is and why it matters for communities? Check out our new paper to answer this and many more questions.
- Out now in Ecology Letters, we show how time-dependent indirect effects emerge in plant-soil feedback systems.
- Congratulations Dr Zou! For outstanding defense and lots of awards (best paper, best thesis, and best talk!)
