We study organisms, populations, communities, ecosystems and global 

systems as we focus our efforts on conservation biology, ecosystem 

ecology, environmental biology, evolutionary biology, global change, 

tropical ecology, and systematics. Our research is centered 

geographically in the subtropics --- especially Louisiana --- and the 

tropics, although we explore life in other regions of the Earth as well. 

Graduate students are important contributors to our effort to create and 

disseminate knowledge about organisms and their environments.
