Plant ecophysiology, community ecology and biogeography. Ecological responses to climate change.

Dr. Briggs’ research combines modeling and experiments to understand the factors affecting the dynamics of animal populations.

Terrestrial plant community and ecosystem ecology, controls over vegetation change, feedbacks, restoration ecology.

Population and community ecology, river ecology, predator-prey interactions, science education.

The Froehlich Lab studies the sustainability of seafood and marine ecosystems under climate change.

Marine ecology, sustainable fisheries, aquaculture, oceans and climate change.

Our laboratory studies the genetic basis of adaptation and speciation using genomic analyses and field-based studies in the genus Aquilegia (Columbines).

Debora Iglesias-Rodriguez has worked for twenty years on diversity and function in marine phytoplankton combining molecular approaches, carbon physiology and biogeochemistry in the lab and in the field.

The mission of our research group is to reveal the role of infectious diseases in ecosystems. We investigate parasite ecology, disease ecology, food web dynamics, ecology and evolution of infectious strategies, and control of human parasites.
