Dr. Angélica L. González is a broadly-trained ecologist with interests that range from organismal traits to community and ecosystem ecology. Much of her research is concerned with the effects of natural and human-induced environmental changes on the diversity, composition and function of communities and ecosystems. Drawing from general principles, Dr. González aims to develop a more integrated understanding of ecological systems. Her work combines theory, observations, experiments, and data synthesis approaches in order to predict ecological patterns and processes across space and time.
