Linking Climate and Demography to Predict Population Dynamics and Persistence Under Global Change
Predicting how climate change will affect the population dynamics and ultimately persistence of plant and animal populations is a grand challenge in biodiversity science and global change biology. Co...

We use a model legume to assess how plant host genotype and microbes non-additively interact to shape plant growth and disease ecology.

To understand how climate change affects natural ecosystems we need to know how warming influences species interactions. In our newest paper we show that predator-prey interactions fundamentally change across latitude leading to context dependent effects of warming. 🧪

My dissertation chapter is in Ecology Letters!
We tested microbiome network theory empirically in nature and found central early colonisers significantly (1) enhanced biodiversity, (2) reshaped assembly trajectories and (3) increased recruitment of non-peripheral microbes.
