Daniel Portik

Dan’s research will test a series of hypotheses regarding the processes generating high species richness in the African tropics. How species-rich taxonomic assemblages are generated and maintained, especially in the tropics, is a subject of great interest to...

Andrew Rominger 

Andy studies large scale patterns in the richness, relatedness and abundance of species to understand how evolutionary history shapes contemporary biodiversity and how biodiversity might change with mounting anthropogenic pressures.  There is a persistent scientific...

Danielle Christianson

Danielle studies microclimate: how vegetation responds to it; how it may occur in a warmer future; and how it scales up to climate represented at coarser spatial and temporal scales that are commonly used in models. She observes tree seedlings and measures the...
