Plant Ecology
We study the diverse flora and fungi of the Florida scrub, particularly the endangered species endemic to the Lake Wales Ridge. Our research combines ecological theory, organismal biology, and conservation to address (1) the drivers underlying population and community dynamics, (2) how conservation efforts can best support saving rare species, and (3) the unique biodiversity in the region.

Explore Internships in Plant Ecology
The Plant Ecology Program supports early-career scientists at different stages including post-baccalareate research interns and research assistants. Research assistants and interns gain skills in field ecology, experimental design, and data management. All scientists are encouraged to disseminate research via presentations, social media, newsletters, and scientific publications.
