Research Cell Biology, Plant Behavior Google Scholar Research in the Gilroy Lab seeks to uncover the cellular and molecular mechanisms that enable plants to sense and respond to environmental stresses. Our work spans questions ranging from how plants detect and react to insect herbivory to how they cope with flooding and other challenging conditions. A …
Research Aquatic Biology, Biodiversity, Conservation Biology, Ecology, Plant Behavior Google Scholar Research in my lab explores aquatic ecosystem ecology across both marine and freshwater environments, focusing on seagrasses and aquatic macrophytes. Combining observational field studies and manipulative experiments, we investigate how environmental stressors and disturbances shape the structure and functioning of aquatic ecosystems, with a …
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 …
