Together
we study ecological and evolutionary aspects of plant-fungal
symbioses. Using classic microbiological methods, ecological sampling
techniques, molecular tools, and the robust framework of phylogenetic
biology, we aim to understand the scope of fungal biodiversity, the
ecological roles and
evolutionary importance of cryptic microfungi, and the evolution of
symbiotic lifestyles across the fungal tree of life. Our field sites
range from Arctic tundra to lowland rainforests, and
our interests range from bacterial symbionts of fungi to the effects of
soilborne molds on tropical forest dynamics. Our diverse projects are
united by a passion for organismal biology and our interdisciplinary
approach to addressing biological questions.
