My research is a mix of community ecology and macroecology, with a dash of life history interests. I am primarily an empirical ecologist with a field ecology background. Officially, I'm interested in the long-term dynamics of communities - how communities respond to environmental changes or shifts in the identity of the dominant species. My core field site is the Portal Project, a long-term research site initiated by James H. Brown and associates in 1977. Unofficially, I'm broadly curious and go where my curiosity takes me. |

Sarah started Fall 2007 and comes to us from Valparaiso University. Sarah is interested in exploring metacommunity dynamics and has also discovered that rodents really aren't that bad. |

| Glenda Yenni |
Glenda works at the Portal Project and so far she is interested in how coexistence among species is affected by invasion, extinction, and climate change. She is also currently working on a M.S. in Statistics working with Mevin Hooten. |

Mikaelle Giffen |
Mikaelle joined the lab in Fall 2008. She is currently working on a research project in the Ernest lab related to understanding changes in the body size of Dipodomys species in response to climate change. She is working in the White lab collecting data on mammal communities from the literature. |
