Ingrid Olivares, PhD

  • Postdoctoral fellow

Research Interests

I aim to integrate ecology and evolution to understand the relative roles of the regional and local processes that determine the structure and dynamics of plant communities. I have investigated the ecology, biogeography, and population genomics of tropical plants, and reviewed some of the concepts and findings that have shaped our current interpretation of diversity patterns.
