Education2013. Doctorate, Biological Sciences, Evolution, Simon Fraser University 2002. Bachelor's Honours, Science, Ecology, University of British Columbia ResearchHow do biogeographic distributions respond to environmental change? Why don't species live everywhere? Our research group connects across scales to understand the relative roles of physiology, ecological interactions, and dispersal, in determining species distributions across environmental gradients. We aim to answer these questions by coupling theory with observations, including real-time responses to climate change.Prizes and honours2016.
