I am a quantitative community ecologist dedicated to exploring the influence of anthropogenic, ecological, and evolutionary processes on biodiversity patterns and the subsequent impacts on ecosystem functioning. My current research centers around synthesizing the effects of human-mediated habitat loss and climate change on animals and plants. With a broad taxonomic scope ranging from arthropods to mammals, I use quantitative tools to unravel the intricate dynamics of biodiversity change. I also investigates the utility of traits in predicting species redistributions across local and global scales.
