We are a research team focused on illuminating the mechanisms that maintain biodiversity and using our understanding to predict the stability of ecological systems in a changing world. Our approach is broad, bringing together field and lab experiments with natural history, mathematical models, and statistics.
We are based in the Department of Plant & Microbial Biology at North Carolina State University. During the field season, you may also find us crouched among the wildflowers at the Rocky Mountain Biological Lab or knee-deep in a bogs at the University of Michigan Biological Station.
North Carolina State University was established with funding from the Morrill Act. Learn about the history of how Land Grant Universities.
