Research
We study the population, community, and chemical ecology of mutualisms involving plants and insects. We use field and lab experiments, behavioral assays, analytical chemistry, and demographic modeling to answer questions such as:
1. How do mutualisms generate and maintain biodiversity?,
2. How does biodiversity affect the outcomes of mutualisms?
3. What are the broader population- and community-level consequences of biodiversity in mutualisms?
