We are a research group in the Department of Biology at Texas Christian University in Fort Worth, TX! We investigate the ecology and evolution of plant-insect interactions, particularly within the context of understanding how mutualisms are affected by global change. Our research approaches are broad and include field- and lab-based experiments, behavioral assays, analytical chemistry, and demographic modeling.
During the field season, you might find us counting aphids in subalpine meadows at the Rocky Mountain Biological Laboratory or following ants as they disperse seeds in tropical forests at La Selva Research Station in Costa Rica.
