Research Interests

My research focuses on two pervasive and inter-related forms of biological change: disease emergence and species invasions. Our groupÌýuses long-term data, ecological experiments and modeling approaches to examine the factors that drive disease emergence and biological invasions. We work on a wide range ofÌýorganisms from diverse study systems, including zooplankton, amphibians, fishes, insects and humans.Ìý
