We investigate ecological interactions in the context of the political economies in which they occur. Our research emphasizes current environmental problems that span these boundaries in agriculture, conservation, and environmental risk.
Does crop and landscape diversity increase beneficial insect diversity and ecosystem services for growers?
Does the endangered Ohlone Tiger Beetle exhibit meta-population dynamics? What are the implications of these dynamics for conservation of this species and its habitats?
How does vegetational diversity at different scales affect bat diversity
and their ecosystem services?
