Biography

Plant biologist working on trait diversity and ecophysiology of the oaks of the Americas and prairie conservation. Investigations reveal rates of adaptation within the phylogeny with Drs. Andrew Hipp, Paul Manos, Antonio González-Rodríguez and Jeannine Cavender-Bares. Foci: Trade-offs between drought-tolerance & growth, comparative ecology among/within species using common garden experiments, herbarium surveys of functional traits, and conceptual models of invasiveness with Drs. Jane Molofsky and Maarten Eppinga.
