Chris is an ecologist interested in the drivers of long-term insect population trends, especially in the Western United States. He is currently finding ways to spend as much time as possible in the mountains looking for butterflies.

Chelsea is an evolutionary biologist interested in how species traits affect their responses to environmental change. She is working with the Unified Insect Trait Database (UNIT) Working Group, and on projects relating moth traits to vulnerability.

Lexi is interested in the interactions between invasive species, crop pests, and native insects in agricultural systems.

Joe's research focuses on understanding how insect dynamics, particularly those of Lepidoptera, are influenced by anthropogenic factors (i.e., climate change, suburban-urbanization, agriculture). He aims to develop computational and metabarcoding tools to collect and analyze data on Lepidoptera populations across urban gradients. His goal is to investigate the ecological implications of these responses, including potential trophic interactions.

Erica is interested in insect conservation, quantitative ecology, and community stability and resilience under global change.

Diya is studying the effects of host plant diversity, wingspan, and diapause life history traits on moth phenology shifts.
