About the spatial ecology lab

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 hotspots of introduced plant invasion with climate change. Adapted from Allen & Bradley 2016
