BioI research how land use change affects species interactions, invasions, and biodiversity in tropical forests. I primarily work with reptiles and amphibians to investigate the following questions:
How can we integrate habitat requirements for vulnerable and range-restricted species into the agroecological matrix?
How do evolved ecological constraints mediate species’ vulnerability or resiliency to anthropogenic disturbances?
How can land use change influence biological invasions?
