Daniel Gruner-Ecologist
I am a terrestrial community ecologist with empirical projects on tropical islands, in montane grasslands, and in local agricultural systems, and I use a variety of analytical tools for synthetic reviews and modeling. Generally, our lab studies species interactions in food webs, the maintenance of biodiversity in ecological communities, and community feedbacks with ecosystem function. I research these topics primarily using arthropods in terrestrial ecosystems, but I work in soils and in treetops, with organisms from nematodes to birds to herbaceous plants, and in both temperate and tropical regions. I believe it is important to apply basic science to address challenges in conservation, particularly with biological invasions, pest management, and climate change.

"If you cultivate a healthy poverty and simplicity, so
that finding a penny will literally make your day, then, since the world is in
fact planted with pennies, you have with your poverty bought a lifetime of
days."
--- Annie Dillard, Pilgrim at Tinker Creek
