Welcome
Residential landscapes are one of the fastest growing land cover types. These systems alter patterns of biodiversity through habitat fragmentation and the creation of anthropogenic ecosystems such as ornamental gardens and stormwater ponds. Our lab's work focuses on the ecology of residential landscapes. Within this context, we are interested in many topics, including spatial ecology, community- and ecosystem-level interactions, biological invasions, ecosystem services, and ecological restoration. Our work is interdisciplinary and applied, and employs a mixture of geospatial and statistical tools, as well as observational, experimental, and modeling approaches. |

The two main goals of our work are:
1) Mitigate the negative impacts of expanding residential landscapes
2) Inform the design, construction, and management of urban and residential landscapes that support greater levels of biodiversity and ecological functioning
