WORKING TOGETHER TO TACKLE INVASIVE SPECIES ISSUES IN A
Changing Southeast
Dr. Stacy Endriss is an assistant professor of invasive species research and extension in the Department of Entomology at Virginia Tech. Her lab is passionate about interdisciplinary research that uses plant invasions to test basic eco-evolutionary theory in ways that provide applied solutions to pressing management challenges. Their integration of eco-evolutionary theory with applied research motivates research within three, overlapping areas: (1) local adaptation of plant populations, (2) insect herbivory within the context of biological control, and (3) measuring impacts of invasive plants and invasive plant management on ecological communities.
