landscape ecology, conservation genetics, forest ecology, population genetics, forest health
My research leverages the disciplines of landscape ecology, conservation biology and population genetics to assess and mitigate threats to tree species and forest communities, particularly across broad scales. I focus on developing and applying innovative qualitative methods and models to address broad-scale, complex threats to forest health, with an emphasis on delivering tools that can enable better-informed management of forests and the tree species that constitute them. Specifically, I have five central areas of research expertise: Development of indicators of forest biodiversity and ecosystem function across broad regions using Forest Inventory and Analysis (FIA) data. Investigating species invasion patterns and processes across broad spatial scales. Development of a framework to categorize and prioritize forest tree species for conservation and management actions based on life-history characteristics and external threats. Completion of range-wide genetic variation studies of several at-risk forest tree species. Coordination of assessments of forest resource status and trends across broad scales.

TL;DR:
It is clearly demonstrated that, existing as a limited number of small and isolated populations, Carolina hemlock has insufficient gene flow to avoid widespread genetic drift and inbreeding, despite having the capacity to disperse pollen and seed relatively long distances by wind.

FOREST ECOLOGY AND MANAGEMENT, 384, 26–33.
author keywords: Browsing; Forest Inventory and Analysis; Invasive plants; Odocoileus virginianus; Tree regeneration; Understory vegetation
TL;DR:
Results indicate that deer density may be an additional driver of tree seedling abundance when analyzed along with stand attributes such as aboveground biomass, relative density, and stand age, and that introduced plant species increased in areas with higher deer density.

Pinus ponderosa : A checkered past obscured four species
American Journal of Botany, 104(1), 161–181.
author keywords: Pinaceae; Pinus; plastid microsatellites; ponderosa pine; Ponderosae
MeSH headings : Alleles; Discriminant Analysis; Gene Frequency; Genetic Variation; Genotype; Geography; Haplotypes; Microsatellite Repeats / genetics; Phylogeny; Pinus / classification; Pinus / genetics; Pinus ponderosa / genetics; Plastids / genetics; Principal Component Analysis; Sequence Analysis, DNA; Species Specificity; United States
TL;DR:
There are at least four distinct plastid clusters within Pinus ponderosa that roughly correspond to the geographic distribution of mitochondrial haplotypes and it is suggested that resurrecting originally published species names would more appropriately reflect the taxonomy of this checkered classification.

TL;DR:
No difference in the exotic fraction-area relationship between mainland areas and islands is observed, supporting what the authors refer to as the “island-mainland continuum concept” and future focus should be placed on the links between local, regional, and global invasion patterns.

Does biodiversity make a difference? Relationships between species richness, evolutionary diversity, and aboveground live tree biomass across U.S. forests
Forest Ecology and Management, 321, 117–129.
author keywords: Species richness; Phylogenetic diversity; Functional diversity; Productivity; Carbon sequestration; Bioenergy
TL;DR:
Phylogenetic species clustering was increasingly correlated with LAGB as live tree stocking increased on low-productivity sites, suggesting that the co-occurrence of tree species more widely distributed across the phylogenetic tree of life, and therefore likely possessing a wider variety of functional attributes, resulted in greater biomass accumulation on poorer sites.

MeSH headings : Biodiversity; Phylogeny; Seedlings / classification; Seedlings / genetics; Seedlings / physiology; Time Factors; Trees / classification; Trees / genetics; Trees / physiology; United States
TL;DR:
Using repeated inventory measurements five years apart from more than 7000 forested plots in the eastern United States, phylogenetic diversity is substantially different from species richness as a measure of biodiversity, and broadscale patterns of forest biodiversity change are detected that are consistent with expected early effects of climate change.

Widespread inbreeding and unexpected geographic patterns of genetic variation in eastern hemlock (Tsuga canadensis), an imperiled North American conifer
Conservation Genetics, 13(2), 475–498.
author keywords: Phylogeography; Pleistocene; Migration; Population genetics; Microsatellite; Bottleneck
TL;DR:
Efforts to conserve eastern hemlock genetic material should emphasize the capture of broad adaptability that occurs across the geographic range of the species, as well as genetic variability within regions with the highest allelic richness and heterozygosity, such as the Southern Appalachians and New England, and within disjunct populations that are genetically distinct.

Evolutionary history of two endemic Appalachian conifers revealed using microsatellite markers
Conservation Genetics, 11(4), 1499–1513.
author keywords: Biogeography; Pleistocene; Migration; Population genetics; Microsatellite markers; Abies
TL;DR:
Little genetic differentiation is found among Fraser fir and intermediate fir, suggesting that Fraser fir might best be classified as a variety of balsam fir, and the results appear to reject the hypothesis that intermediate fir was of hybrid origin between two comparatively distantly related species.

Genetic variation and population structure in Fraser fir (Abies fraseri): a microsatellite assessment of young trees
Canadian Journal of Forest Research, 38(8), 2128–2137.
TL;DR:
The island-like populations of Fraser fir have been isolated since the end of the late-Wisconsinian glaciation on the highest peaks of the Southern Appalachian Mountains and therefore offer an opportunity to investigate the genetic dynamics of a long-fragmented forest tree species.

Isolation and characterization of microsatellite markers for Carolina hemlock (Tsuga caroliniana)
Molecular Ecology Resources, 8(6), 1371–1374.
author keywords: conservation genetics; hemlock; SSR markers
TL;DR:
The isolation and characterization of 31 polymorphic di‐ and trinucleotide microsatellite marker loci for Carolina hemlock should enhance population genetic studies of hemlocks, providing valuable information for conserving and restoring these important forest tree species.

TL;DR:
The results suggest that the glacial refuge area for eastern hemlock was likely located east of the southern Appalachian Mountains, and indicate that ex situ conservation seed collections should be concentrated in these areas of higher diversity.

TL;DR:
Polymerase chain reaction primers for 14 microsatellite loci from Fraser fir consistently produced simple PCR profiles and were found to be polymorphic among 13 Fraser fir samples, and more than half of these loci were finding to amplify a wide range of samples from several Abies taxa.

MeSH headings : Animals; Environment; Forecasting; Invertebrates; Models, Theoretical; North Carolina; Policy Making; Population Dynamics; Risk Assessment; Water Movements; Water Pollutants / analysis; Water Pollutants / poisoning; Water Supply
TL;DR:
Vulnerability models indicate that North Carolina watersheds with less forest cover are at most risk for degraded water quality and steam habitat conditions, and the importance of forest cover in predicting macrobenthic invertebrate community assemblage varies by geographic region of the state.
