Evolution of leaf spectra
​Spectranomics is an emerging field which connects plant optical spectra with functional traits and phylogenies. For my postdoc at the Université de Montréal, I am studying the evolution of leaf spectra as part of the CABO project. I am investigating how leaf spectra vary within and among species occurring in a variety of ecosystems in Canada using phylogenetic comparative methods.
