I am a tropical ecologist. I study plants, insects, and their interactions across multiple spatio-temporal scales. In particular, I use tropical forests as a model system to understand how organisms respond to climate and climatic variability. Over short time scales, our lab studies physiological responses such as changes in insect body size and coloration patterns in response to environmental heterogeneity. Over evolutionary time scales, we study the role of climatic variability on habitat specialization.
