An Aridamerican model for agriculture in a hotter, water scarce world
PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 2, Issue 6, Page 627-639, November 2020., 2020 Climate change is dramatically restructuring agriculture and damaging crops, food security, and human health, especially in deserts. To radically redesign food systems to buffer against climatic disruptions, we focus on agroecological function, human health, and community well‐being.

Behavioral evolution accompanying host shifts in cactophilic Drosophila larvae
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 8, Issue 14, Page 6921-6931, July 2018., 2018 For insects living on plants, the shape and size of the plant should encompass its foraging environment and therefore affect behavior. Here, we show variation in locomotor and pupation behavior within and between species of cactophilic Drosophila that is related to the shape of the cactus they inhabit. Abstract For plant utilizing insects, the shift to
