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.
ALERT: We are currently seeking a postdoctoral associate focused on evaluating statewide and national biological control for the emerald ash borer. Apply by June 15 2023 for best consideration! (PDF)
