Areas of Expertise:
- Entomology & Nematology
- Insect-Plant Interactions
- Behavioral Ecology
- Chemical Ecology
- Multi-trophic Interactions
My focus is on the behavior and chemical ecology of multi-trophic interactions. This includes plant responses to belowground herbivory, nematode and insect community ecology, chemical ecology, and coevolution. Research projects include trophic cascades, above-belowground interactions, chemotaxis of soil nematodes, and the evolution of plant defense strategies.
