The Gilbert lab brings together environmental scholars interested in applying ecology and evolutionary biology to solving environmental problems, within an interdiciplinary environment of natural and social scientists. We are particularly interested in making ecological research relevant, useful, and accessible across different communities of practice.

A diversity of interdisciplinary scholars
Active research themes in the lab include plant disease ecology, phylogenetic community ecology, restoration ecology, spatial and temporal dynamics of forest communities, fungal community ecology, biological invasions, urban ecology, evolutionary ecology of novel species interactions, tropical ecology and conservation, phytosanitary regulation and risk, cross-cultural science communication, social and institutional constraints in conservation. We work both in the US and Latin America, including California, Panama, Costa Rica, and lots of other places.
