| My
research centres on the processes that maintain
the high tree species diversity in tropical rain
forests. In particular, I am interested in how
natural plant enemies (herbivores and pathogens)
mediate density dependence in tree populations,
and hence contribute to maintaining tree diversity
(the well known Janzen-Connell hypothesis).
My current research investigates
pathogen-mediated density dependence in a Belizean
forest. | |
