Research

My research interests include the evolutionary ecology of terrestrial animals and plants. I have used seed-eating desert rodents to explore factors that determine the number and phenotypic attributes of coexisting species in a community.

Teaching

In spite of Emerita status I remain active in teaching and mentoring of undergraduate and graduate students, including those at the University of Arizona, through several informal and formal avenues (please see the linked CV).
