Welcome to the Gruner Lab at the University of Maryland.
We investigate species interactions in food webs, the maintenance of biodiversity in ecological communities, and their feedbacks with ecosystem processes. We believe it is important to apply basic science to address environmental challenges, particularly with biodiversity conservation, biological invasions, and climate change.
