Undergraduate and graduate students hold a critical role in assisting in the completion of these projects. While involved in our lab, they gain valuable research experience, either in the field and/or in the laboratory. After finishing, our graduate students have continued on to pursue PhDs or land positions as professors or research ecologists. Our undergraduates have participated as either field technicians or interns, as part of the NSF-REU or NASA Space Grant programs. Many undergraduates have gone on to pursue graduate studies or positions in state or Federal agencies (e.g., Arizona Game and Fish Department, Bureau of Land Management, National Park Service, US Department of Agriculture) or private organizations.

Our lab has a long history of ecological research projects funded by the Federal Government (e.g., NSF, USDA, NASA). These projects often span multiple years, are ambitious in nature, require the valuable contributions and expertise of researchers and students alike, and have important implications for ecological research and land management policy.
