Research Interests
|
| I am interested in the consequences of genotypic and phenotypic diversity for ecological communities. More specifically, I would like to better understand how intraspecific diversity affects food web processes, focusing on diversity in secondary consumers such as arthropod predators and parasitoids. I am also interested in multi-trophic interactions that involve conflict or synergism between plants and predators, with regards to their effects on the abundance and distribution of herbivore populations.
