Emergent behaviors in complex microbial ecosystems
… interacting species can exhibit an emergent priority effect in which invader species are less likely to colonize than species in the original pool. However, in this regime of strong interspecies interactions, if an invasion is successful it causes larger ecological effects on the resident …

The role of priority effects in the assembly of the amphibian microbiome
… how stochasticity in dispersal that leads to priority affects can impact bacterial community assembly in amphibian embryos. In chapter 1, I experimentally show that priority effects resulting from stochastic dispersal can be observed in the microbiome of newly-hatched hourglass treefrog …

Effects of diversity on community assembly dynamics in newly formed pond communities
… evolution of a focal population can enhance priority effects thereby decreasing invasibility of later arriving colonists (termed evolution-mediated priority effects). Nevertheless, empirical investigations of these diversity effects, at both the genetic and species level remain rare, …
