Research Interests: I am interested in understanding the determinants of the abundance and distribution of organisms at a variety of spatial scales, ranging from the small extents on which foraging theory focuses, to the broad geographic extents characteristic of macroecology.
J. Sebastián Tello
Assistant Scientist - Missouri Botanical Garden

Research Interests: My research interests are on the study of biodiversity, particularly on the fields of macroecology, community ecology and biogeography. I am interested in mountain systems for studying biogeographic gradients in biodiversity and community assembly.

Jonathan A. Myers
Associate Professor - Washington University
jamyers@wustl.edu
The Myers Lab. at WashU
Research Interests: I am broadly interested in how scale-dependent mechanisms combine to shape patterns of biodiversity within and across ecological communities.
Amy E. Zanne
Assistant Professor - George Washington University
azanne@gwu.edu
