Professors
Pedro Quintana-Ascencio, Professor
Research Area(s): Interactive effects of disturbance and spatial structure on plant community and population dynamics, especially for several rare plant species endemic to the Lake Wales Ridge in central Florida.
I am a member of the science committee for the COMPADRE & COMADRE database project to create an open-access database of matrix population models for both animals and plants from all over the world to facilitate its usage for scientific and teaching purposes.

Postdoctoral Fellows
Federico Lopez Borghesi, PhD
Research: Broadly, I am interested on the interplay between plant reproductive physiology and population level dynamics. My project aims to find novel ways to frame seed ecophysiology studies to inform plant demography models.

Graduate Students
Jacob D. Hart, PhD
Research: My research examines how mosquito populations and diversity vary in time and space at regional scales. I also conducted an experiment (in the picture) on ecological disturbance and productivity.
