Ecology
My research group at the University of South Florida is involved in a variety of ecological investigations which focus on pure and applied ecology projects. The common theme which links each these projects is plant-animal interactions. Areas of research included: Elevated CO2 and effects on food webs, Non-target effects of biological control and Top-down/bottom-up effects in salt marshes.
