Lonnie W. Aarssen

Plant ecology and evolution

Research

I have very broadly defined research interests ranging from reproductive ecology to community ecology of plants.  I am particularly interested in the development of new hypotheses and conceptual models for the interpretation of adaptive strategies for growth, survival and reproduction in plants along environmental gradients, and how these strategies help to explain patterns in the abundance, distribution and composition of populations and communities  within and between habitats.  I have also become interested recently in human evolutionary ecology.
