New Paper! Plant biomes demonstrate that landscape resilience today is the lowest it has been since end-Pleistocene megafaunal extinctions
Check out our new paper! I’m so excited to see this work out. Here is a summary of our findings: Resilient landscapes preserve terrestrial biodiversity despite environmental changes. Here, we analyze North American landscape resilience over 20,000 years by examining the residence and recovery times of plant biomes preserved in the fossil pollen record....
Ben & Danny are now PhD Candidates
Congratulations to Danny Lauer and Ben Shipley who recently passed their qualifying exams and are now officially PhD Candidates! Ben is a second year graduate student in Biological Sciences studying the causes of endemism. Danny is a second year graduate student in the Quantitative Biosciences Program studying the implications of functional diversity for maintaining...
Welcome to PhD Student, Danny Lauer!
Danny comes to us through the Quantitative Biosciences Program here at GT. He is interested in the interface between data science/machine learning and ecology, and looks forward to applying these disciplines to his PhD research. Daniel received his B.S. in Environmental Science and Policy from the University of Maryland, College Park, in 2017....
