Maria Goodrich,
Graduate Student
My research is focused on the ecology of environmental biofilms. I am interested
in understanding the strength and nature of interactions that take place
among biofilm community members. Currently I am examining how bacterial-algal
interactions in epilithic biofilms change according to light and nutrient
availability at different drainage network positions in a stream ecosystem.

Mike Limm, Graduate Student
My primary interest is understanding how the physical characteristics
of a drainage network influence the way carbon and nutrients move through and between
terrestrial and aquatic communities. My current focus is on hydrologic and hydraulic
controls on food webs and the influence of food web composition on ecosystem processes.
I also like fish. |

Jack Sculley, Graduate Student
My main research interests center around what
traits induce stability or instability in communities, particularly with
respect to climatic disturbance and changes in disturbance regimes over
long time-scales. A topic of major interest is how mutualisms expand species
constraint envelopes--e.g. corals can colonize nutrient-poor tropics,
redwoods can colonize dry climates by using fungi to tap fog water (apparently)
etc.--and how the flip side may be vulnerability to disturbance and/or
climate change. I am interested in how species interactions effects at
the food-web/community level scale-up over larger spatial and temporal
scales to impact biogeographic distributions, and similarly how climatic
processes scale-down to ecological time and space scales. I am considering
redwoods and their endosymbiotic fungi as a sample system to model computationally,
and compare with field experiments and paleo-ecological data. |
