As an ecologist and environmental scientist, my research and teaching both focus on natural history, community interactions, and global environmental change. My research uses local field observations of plants and birds, historical records, and volunteer-collected observations from across the U.S. to examine how climate change is shifting the timing of seasonal biological events, including leaf-out and flowering, bird migration, and bird-plant interactions.
