plant evolutionary ecology

We study the processes that promote or hinder adaptation at various biological scales, including populations, species, and communities. We combine quantitative genetics, spatial and statistical models, and field and greenhouse experiments to tackle key questions in biogeography, ecology, and evolution.

We are based in the Department of Plant & Microbial Biology at North Carolina State University.

Lab news​
  • Kaleb Goff's undergraduate research (in collaboration with Cormac Del Rio and Kathleen Kay) has been published in the American Journal of Botany. Congrats, Kaleb! 
  • Kaleb, along with new PMB faculty member Will Petry, former lab manager Aeran Coughlin, and Seema, led our lab's exhibit at the NC Museum of Natural Sciences Darwin Day this year. We enjoyed a beautiful day teaching kids about how plant populations cope with climate change by moving or evolving. 
  • Our first  paper  resulting from the Research Coordinated Network for Evolution in Changing Seas has been published in Proceedings of the Royal Society B! A special shoutout to Jordanna Barley and Morgan Kelly for leading the charge!
  • Seema had a blast during virtual visits to the University of Tennessee, Knoxville and CU Boulder. Thanks so much to the Gaoue and Emery labs for hosting!
  • Undergrads Emily Powell and Emma Wilson joined the lab this semester. Welcome, Emma and Emily!
  • Seema met up with the Angert lab to do some demographic surveys of Mimulus cardinalis, and re-collected seeds from northern, central, and southern populations for ongoing resurrection studies of evolutionary responses to recent climate change. 
  • Kaleb and Seema participated in GLORIA Great Basin surveys in the White Mountains and Sierra Nevadas this summer. It was great to get back into the field!
