Karner blue butterfly research:
I have conducted research on fire effects, canopy structure, and biodiversity of black oak savannas. I have a paper in press
in Restoration Ecology concerning the habitat requirements of wild lupine (Lupinus perennis). I have collaborated with Ralph
Grundel on several KKB research projects.
List of Signficant Findings:
The demographic response of wild lupine is dependent on interactions among habitat, competition, and litter cover. Both competition and oak leaf litter cause high mortality in shaded habitats. Partial shade is the optimal habitat for lupine establishment and survival. In full sun, shade from competition and leaf litter enhance establishment and survival.
Work Area:
Indiana, but some work in Wisconsin
