Our Conservation Ecology Research Group at North Carolina State University combines diverse approaches to the study of diversity, rarity, extinction and conservation. Within the group our research includes microcosms, large-scale experiments on corridors, studies of rarity and diversity at continental scales and diverse modeling approaches. We work in long-leaf pine savannas, tropical forests, mediterannean heathlands, hardwood forests and computer pixels and study butterflies, amphibians and reptiles, ants, plants, birds, and even a beaver or two. |
