Biography

I am a community ecologist fascinated with plant-fungal symbioses. Focusing primarily on the mycorrhizal symbiosis, my research program integrates disparate fields (community ecology, mycology, plant biology, microbiology, molecular ecology, high throughput sequencing, bioinformatics, and advanced statistical analyses) to reveal the fundamental reasons influencing mycorrhizal diversity across different ecosystems. My work has included sampling of mycorrhizal diversity in ecoregions and biomes across North America, including along elevation gradients in Glacier National Park Montana, and...
