There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

Despite representing a major goal of modern science, understanding the ecological and evolutionary processes that underlie broad patterns of biological diversity is a notoriously difficult task. My research focuses on investigating the ecological processes which facilitate species coexistence and community assembly, demonstrating how species interactions can drive adaptive divergence, and discuss how contemporary natural selection operates in the wild as a force responsible for maintaining the structure of ecological communities.
