Forest Health

Globalization ensures that invasive species will continue to arrive, establish, and cause significant disruption in our ecosystems, leading to major global change. Through a series of exotic-­indigenous model systems in our forests, I test key invasion hypotheses with respect to predation, parasitism, specialization, and community diversity of natural enemies and associates.  My lab's work fuels not only basic knowledge underpinning processes of novel community interactions and ecosystem resilience, but also to achieve unique and complementary HQP capacity in invasion biology for Canada's most significant renewable resource, our forests.
