About Karen H. Beard

My current research spans a broad range of topics but primarily focuses on species interactions and subsequent impacts on ecosystem processes, especially involving issues of invasive species and climate change. Currently I have research in Hawaii, Alaska, South Africa, Brazil, and Utah on questions related to impacts of invasives, climate change effects on plant-herbivore and plant-plant interactions, habitat fragmentation, and restoration efforts. I work with a wide range of taxa from amphibians to birds to plants. The ultimate goal of my research is to improve management decisions about non-native species and how to manage in the face of global change.
