My evolutionary ecology research uses empirical approaches to testing questions motivated by theory. Most of my research is on plants. I ask curiosity-driven questions about plant behaviour in response to relatives and strangers - do plants recognize and respond to their kin. Research on applied questions about plant restoration has led to questions about how restoration and habitat variation affect bee communities.
