Mechanims of plant species coexistence in tropical forests
The influence of gap dynamics on tree species coexistence in the Neotropics.
I am a Ph.D. candidate in Dr. Caroline Farrior’s lab in the program of Ecology, Evolution and Behavior, in the Department of Integrative Biology, at the University of Texas at Austin. In May 2019, I completed my Bachelors of Science in Environmental Sciences and Economics at the University of Virginia in Dr. Howard Epstein’s lab . My honors thesis was on post-fire interactions between Ceanothus spp. and Douglas fir in the Klamath mountains.
The influence of gap dynamics on tree species coexistence in the Neotropics.
The influence of understory light availability on herbivory of woody seedlings in different demographic groups.
Functional and phylogenetic diversity in predicting the biodiversity-ecosystem functioning relationship.
Interspecific competition between Ceanothus spp. and Douglas fir in the Klamath River Basin.
Introductory Biology II, Ecology, Lab Experiments, and An Introduction to Building your own Professional Website.
Capstone and independent projects.
Ecology Seminar, International Graduate Committee of EEB, the annual mentorship program of SAGES at UT, and EcoEvoApps.
I'm always eager to talk about tropical forests, forest succession, plant specie scoexistence and the integration of empricial work and theory! Please contact me here or via email if you'd like to get in touch and talk about ecology.
