Our research

Kick the tires, see what falls off, and try to understand why.

We take an experimental approach to tackling fundamental questions in plant ecology, evolutionary biology, behaviour, and conservation biology.  In addition to the pure discovery aspects of the work in the lab, we regularly incorporate a use-inspired approach for addressing issues related to invasive species, climate change, grassland ecology, and any other pressing issue of the day..

Broad themes include: Community ecology, grasslands, grazing, root ecology, plant behaviour.
