I am a global change ecologist, broadly interested in how community and ecosystem responses to global change drivers are mediated by biotic factors. I investigate responses to global change drivers from multiple angles, including the roles that trophic interactions, symbioses, and diversity play in determining the effects of diverse global change factors, such as increased nutrient availability, consumer loss, altered climatic regimes, and species invasions.
