Integrative trait-based ecology

My work links ecology, evolution, and the environment through traits. I'm currently a postdoc in Jean-Philippe Gibert's lab at Duke.

FUNCTIONAL BIOGEOGRAPHY

May 25, 2022

We have developed a method to more accurately map productivity at the landscape scale in high resolution by combining remote-sensing data and trait-based metabolic theory. Check it out at Ecography!

ECOLOGY ACROSS SCALES

Oct. 19, 2021

New work by our great team in the Gibert Lab (mostly students) scales up from traits to predict temperature effects across levels of organization—from populations to ecosystems. Out now in PNAS!

CLIMATE, CARBON, & MICROBES

Nov. 8, 2019

 

The Gibert Lab has been awarded a Department of Energy grant to study the impacts of climate change and microbial food web dynamics on carbon storage in Sphagnum moss ecosystems.

MOVED TO DUKE!

Nov. 1, 2019

 

I've started a new postdoc at Duke with Jean Philippe Gibert! We'll be working on food webs and eco-evolutionary dynamics in microbes.
