The Sax Research Group is broadly interested in the field of
conservation biogeography. We have funding for a PhD student interested in
studying species’ responses to climate change, with a special emphasis in
understanding the relationship between species geographical distributions and
climate. We will soon begin to pursue the research agenda described in a recent
publication in Trends in Ecology and
Evolution – Sax et al. 2013 (download
PDF here). This work will characterize and map the realized, fundamental
and tolerance niches of hundreds of plant species by taking advantage of
species’ native, naturalized and horticultural distributions. Other active
areas of work in the lab include species invasions and species extinction
dynamics. Students interested in this opportunity should contact dov.sax@gmail.com
