Ecology in a Changing World

Home

Welcome to the Community and Global Change Ecology Lab website!  I study community and ecosystem ecology in terrestrial environments to understand the structure of communities and the functioning of ecosystems in a changing world.  Take a look around the site to learn more!

 

I have recently been promoted to an Assistant Professor position in the Department of Biological Sciences at Idaho State University!  Currently, I am in the process of starting new research projects near the university.  If you are interested in pursuing a career in ecological studies related to global change, then please feel free to contact me to inquire about opportunities at ISU.

 

I and my colleagues here at ISU and at Boise State University recently received a grant from NSF-Idaho EPSCoR to study the ecological repercussions of genome size and ploidy-level in big sagebrush, Artemisia tridentata.  We are currently recruiting a PhD student to collaborate with us on this grant.  Please contact me if you are interested in learning more!

The Grinath Lab is moving to Idaho State University!!!

I have recently accepted a faculty position in the Department of Biological Sciences at Idaho State University and will be moving this summer.  ISU is located in beautiful Pocatello, ID, which is surrounded by sagebrush steppe.  Interestingly, many of the same organisms occur in both the sagebrush of Idaho and my field sites in Colorado.  … More The Grinath Lab is moving to Idaho State University!!!

Ecological response to extreme drought

September 1, 2018

From 2012 to 2015, California experienced the most extreme drought the area has seen in the past 1,200 years, and drought is expected to increase in frequency and intensity for this region.  To understand how ecological communities respond to such drought, I and colleagues evaluated the response of over 400 species living in a grassland … More Ecological response to extreme drought
