The lab focuses on understanding how land use impacts critical ecological processes for native plants and their pollinators. Agro-ecosystems and urban areas have long been considered \u2018dead zones\u2019- habitats that limit the dispersal of animals or plant propagules. However, recent studies have shown that many agricultural and urban matrices preserve key ecological processes \u2013 depending on the functional traits of the organism and the biotic and abiotic composition of the matrix. Despite the ubiquity of human-altered landscapes and the importance of dispersal processes in ecology and evolution, much remains to be understood about how human-managed landscapes affect critical movement processes for plants and pollinators.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The lab focuses on understanding how land use impacts critical ecological processes for native plants and their pollinators. Agro-ecosystems and urban areas have long been considered \u2018dead zones\u2019- habitats that limit the dispersal of animals or plant propagules.
