Spatial ecology and biogeography use geographic patterns of species across landscapes and regions to uncover patterns that help us understand what influences distribution. We focus primarily on non-native invasive plants, with a goal of better understanding the geographies of invasion risk. Our research investigates how global change interacts with species invasion to affect native ecosystems. The above image highlights potential shifts in kudzu distribution with temperature warming.

Prospective Students
We are always on the lookout for new students to join the lab. If you are interested in invasion ecology, remote sensing or biogeographical analysis, please contact Bethany to see if we have openings.
