Research Interests

Ecology and evolution of flowering plants in the Colorado Alpine and High Plains and similar areas elsewhere in the Northern Hemisphere. Reproductive patterns of flowering plants. Students work on the ecology and evolution of seed plants. The conservation and restoration of the western North American indigenous flora is our special concern. An interesting sideline is forensic botany.
