Specific Interests
My research focuses on host-parasite interactions in changing environments. Specifically, I am interested in host-parasite responses to modified landscape patterns as a result of urbanization. My research will compare landscape characteristics to the rate of parasitism using the monarch butterfly and its parasites as a model system.
