Phoebe Zarnetske
Phoebe Zarnetske is a community ecologist in the Department of Integrative Biology at Michigan State University, and initiated the Spatial Ecology Graduate Certificate Program.Her research connects observed patterns of biodiversity and community compositionwith underlying mechanisms, specifically how the composition and geographicdistribution of species and ecological communities are affected by biotic interactions,species invasions, biophysical feedbacks, geodiversity, climate change, landuse change, and geoengineering. A central goal of her research program is to understandwhich species and ecological communities are most sensitive and/or resilient toclimate change.
