Research Interests

I am a landscape ecologist. My main research interest lies in understanding how human landscape modification affects biodiversity. Specifically, I’m interested in how landscape heterogeneity shapes the species diversity of local plant communities by modifying ecological processes such as dispersal and inter-specific interactions. The research in my lab falls into three broad topics:

  • Spatial Ecology: Assess spatial patterns within populations and communities to infer underlying processes and assembly rules.
  • Metacommunity dynamics: Relate scale-dependent components of species diversity within and among community to landscape structure and landscape change.
