Research
The Economo lab aims to understand how ecological and evolutionary processes interact to regulate biodiversity across spatiotemporal scales. We integrate a variety of approaches in our work including quantitative theory, phylogenetics, high-performance computing, ecoinformatics, 3D imaging and modeling, field sampling, and systematics.
