Research Interests
I’m an evolutionary ecologist broadly interested in the evolution of interactions, and the consequences of these interactions for the evolution and diversification of lineages and clades. Most of this work uses the spectacular co-radiation of leafflower plants (Phyllanthaceae: Phyllanthus s. l.) and leafflower moths (Lepidoptera: Gracillariidae: Epicephala, some of which are pollinators of their hosts and some of which are non-pollinating seed parasites) in the southern United States and on oceanic archipelagos in the South Pacific.
