I am a community ecologist who studies what drives the broad patterns of biodiversity that we see across the world. I do this by weaving together local community data, ecological data (eg, climate, elevation) and evolutionary history. ​

​​

I am currently a postdoc working with Mark Vellend at the University of Sherbrooke and the Leverhulme Centre for Anthropocene Biodiversity to expand the concept of adaptive community dynamics. I am assessing if community turnover shifts from species with traits that are poorly matched to the local environment to species that have a closer phenotypic match to the new environment and testing if these changes have consistent consequences on function and productivity.​​
