Ecological interactions are a fundamental aspect of biodiversity. All organisms depend on interactions with members of other species for feeding, reproduction, or protection against natural enemies. These various interactions among organisms link populations of different species. At the community level, these interconnected populations form networks, with the structure of ecological networks both shaping and being shaped by ecological and evolutionary processes.
In our lab, we focus on understanding the origin, persistence, and vulnerability of large-scale patterns in ecological networks, exploring how ecological and evolutionary processes that operate across different scales. To achieve this, we integrate empirical data on ecological interactions, detailed knowledge of the natural history of interacting species, mathematical modeling, and network science.
