Modularity and long life spans in plants mean that traits affect organismal fitness in complex ways. Allison is integrating spatial, temporal, and genetic data to make inferences about the effects of life history traits on fitness.

I am looking for graduate students at the M.Sc. and Ph.D. level who enjoy field work and interested in getting more experience with computer programming and/or molecular genetics. If you're interested in the ecology and evolution of plant reproduction, send me a quick email to find out about projects and funding opportunities in the lab.
