Graduate Students
SAM WALKES
Ph.D. Student, Graduate Group in Ecology
Research interests: I'm interested in the ecological and evolutionary processes that influence geographic range shifts, including how processes at the expanding edge of a range may differ from those in range-center populations.
Keira MONUKI
Ph.D. Student, Population Biology Graduate Group
Research interests :I am interested in how species' geographic distributions change with anthropogenic impacts. In particular, I am studying climate-driven range shifts and species introductions and the processes that facilitate these distribution changes.
