Joseph Bailey

Professor

Research Interest

Plant-animal interactions, evolutionary ecology

Education

2003 – Ph.D., Northern Arizona University

Research

I consider myself to be an evolutionary ecologist broadly interested in how species interactions link genes and ecosystems, how natural selection operates in a community context, and how these processes scale geographically and with genetic resolution (i.e., small molecular differences to subpopulation structure). I try to take an integrative view of natural systems and have worked with native and introduced plants and herbivores, from microbes to mammals, linking genes to ecosystems.
