community ecology of plants and pollinators in a changing climate

Welcome to the Rafferty Lab in the Department of Evolution, Ecology, and Organismal Biology at the University of California, Riverside. Research in the lab spans the fields of community ecology, population biology, and global change.

 

We use experimental manipulations, long-term and historical data, and observations of natural variation to investigate the effects of climate change on species interactions. In particular, we study how environmental variation and climate change-induced shifts in phenology (the timing of life history events) affect plants, pollinators, and their interactions.
