I study both mutualistic and antagonistic plant-animal interactions in a variety of systems at a variety of scales. I am especially interested in protective mutualisms as well as pollination biology. I work on both ecological and evolutionary questions and have used many different systems, but largely focus on sticky plants (mostly columbines, tarweeds, and tobaccos) and the sand verbenas (Abronia/Tripterocalyx).
