Research:

Ecology of plant populations and communities. Emphasis is on seed biology, herbivory by vertebrates and invertebrates, and biological invasions. Ongoing projects focus on the question of whether escape from natural enemies (diseases, insect herbivores) promotes the survival and spread of exotic plants.
