Research Interests

Officially, I am an empirical community ecologist and macroecologist by training, and I am interested in the intersection of theoretical and empirical ecology. While I believe in using the ecosystem, taxonomic group, or dataset best suited for addressing the question at hand, my favorite model system for testing ideas is my field site: the Portal Project, a long-term research site initiated by James H. Brown and associates in 1977. Unofficially, I am broadly curious and go where my curiosity takes me.
