Understanding the dynamic interplay between evolution and the changes over time of rare and invasive species is the goal of my research. To accomplish this I am examining two complementary themes: How demographic patterns are shaped by evolution and genetic variation and how competition, climatic stress, pollination, and other ecological interactions drive evolution within populations.
