Robert E. Espinoza
My lab studies plant/insect/microbe interactions focusing on pollination services to urban milkweed ecology and desert evening primrose species. Photos
Amanda Fisher
I’m a plant systematist and most of my work has been estimating molecular phylogenies of grasses and Acanthaceae. I’m currently collaborating on a project to study pollinator mediated selection on flower shape in Justicia (Acanthaceae). I am curator of the…
Lua Lopez
My research focuses on understanding how surrounding ecological environments have evolutionary consequences for organisms, with particular focus on endangered and invasive species. To do so, I use a multidisciplinary approach which includes genomics (from historical and modern samples), transcriptomics, ecophysiology…
Wallace Meyer
Our research focuses on understanding how and why local biotas are changing, and how such changes directly and indirectly influence ecosystem level processes and properties. Photos
Javier Monzon
Research in the Monzón Laboratory focuses on the ecology, behavior, and evolution of animals living on the edge. We examine the ecological causes and evolutionary consequences of geographic range limits in various animals. We also investigate the genetic differences that…
