Research Biodiversity, Bioinformatics, Conservation Biology, Ecology, Evolutionary Biology, Genetics/Genomics, Microbiology/Immunology Google Scholar The Pringle laboratory focuses on fungi, organisms whose biology seem very different from our own. Fungi encompass an astonishing biodiversity of mushrooms, molds, and other species, and the Pringle laboratory uses them as tools to test and elucidate general principles of ecology and …
Research Biodiversity, Bioinformatics, Conservation Biology, Ecology Google Scholar My overall research goal is to understand how environmental changes (e.g., climate change, urbanization, species invasions) alter plant biodiversity, phenology, and species interactions, which is critical for predicting ecosystem trajectories and safeguarding life in the Anthropocene. To address this complex ecological question, my research program bridges the …
Research Animal Behavior, Biodiversity, Conservation Biology, Ecology, Evolutionary Biology, Plant Behavior Google Scholar I am interested in behavior, ecological interactions, and how information, space, and time mediate ecology and evolution. Much of my work occurs where these themes converge, with a focus on terrestrial plants and mammals. I utilize multiple approaches: I develop theory to …
Research Aquatic Biology, Biodiversity, Evolutionary Biology, Genetics/Genomics, Physiology Google Scholar Research in my laboratory focuses on evolutionary mechanisms that enable rapid adaptation to environmental change, including biological invasions, climate change, and pollution. My research program integrates evolutionary genetics/genomics and physiology in an ecological context in order to gain core insights into mechanisms that enable expansions …
