CONSERVATION ECOLOGY LAB GROUP

DUNN LAB  |  GROSS LAB  |  HADDAD LAB

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.

Current lab group members: Dr. Rob R. Dunn, Dr. Kevin Gross, Dr. Nick Haddad, Dr. Allison Leidner, Dr. Nicole Thurgate, Becky Lyzinski, Rena Samadura, Chris Hirsch, Will Fields, Judith Canner, Benoit Guenard, Matt Fitzpatrick, Neil McCoy, Dr. Sean Menke, Dr. Michael Weiser, Dr. Szabolcz Lengyel, Dr. Gregor Yanega, Nyeema Harris, Johnny Wilson, Dr. Laura Vogel, Brenda Johnson and whoever is knocking on my door right now.

Opportunities in the lab group: Opportunities exist for postdocs, graduate students and undergraduate students to work with rare butterflies, ants, plants, parasites, and ideas. See the Dunn, Gross or Haddad labs.
