Research
Ecology. Research focuses on chemical mechanisms that mediate ecological interactions, with particular interest in plant-insect interactions. One focal area emphasizes the roles of genetics and resource availability in modulating plant defense characteristics, costs/benefits of defense, and consequences of variation in defense for multi-trophic interactions and ecosystem function. A second focal area investigates the effects of global environmental change (enriched carbon dioxide, ozone) on plant-insect interactions, arthropod biodiversity, litter decomposition and nutrient cycling. Our research spans the range from biochemistry to ecosystem function.
