M.S. Biology - Ecology

Plant Ecologist.

PhD student at Mississippi State University

Research interests - hydrophyte ecology, aquatic invasive species, and invasion ecology

My current research is on the ecology of invasive Alternanthera philoxeroides (alligator weed) in the southeastern United States. My research includes effectiveness of biocontrol on alligator weed and climatic factors that affect alligator weed phenology.

I am also an amateur entomologist with an interest in wasps. In addition to plant ID and photography, I also enjoy collecting insects and frequently post photos of insects I have collected. My photography is very low-tech, and typically consists of a Samsung phone and a hand lens.
