Connor J. Wilson

PhD Student

I am a biologist interested in how constraints and characteristics at small scales produce emergent macroevolutionary and macroecological patterns. For example, I am studying how plant genome structure and functional traits scale up to produce produce distributional patterns and control Earth's climate over deep time.

Michael P. Mustri

PhD Student

I started out my career in physics and briefly worked as a systems engineer before I discovring a passion for theoretical ecology. While my research interests are broad, they revolve around the role biophysical constraints have in shaping functional trait distributions in both plants and microbes. Conversely, I'm focused on modeling the relationship between the large-scale interaction structure of organisms and the preponderance of life history strategies in an ecosystem.

Deborah Goldberg

Sabatarian emeritas

My research investigates the processes that underlie patterns in plant community dynamics, structure, and function, combining experiments in the field, mesocosms, and greenhouse, field surveys at scales from centimeters to kilometers, and modeling to integrate results across approaches and scales.
