Microbial oceanography, marine biogeochemistry, bacterioplankton dynamics, dissolved organic matter, carbon cycle.

Terrestrial plant community and ecosystem ecology, controls over vegetation change, feedbacks, restoration ecology.

Debora Iglesias-Rodriguez has worked for twenty years on diversity and function in marine phytoplankton combining molecular approaches, carbon physiology and biogeochemistry in the lab and in the field.

The mission of our research group is to reveal the role of infectious diseases in ecosystems. We investigate parasite ecology, disease ecology, food web dynamics, ecology and evolution of infectious strategies, and control of human parasites.

Limnology and Coastal Oceanography, with particular emphasis on physical-biological coupling.

Ecology; Conservation Science.

Marine microbial ecology, nitrogen cycling.

Soil and ecosystem ecology, microbial ecology, nutrient cycling, soil organic matter.

Joy-centered pedagogy in biology education, equity-minded teacher professional development, epistemologies in STEM, accessible course-based research experiences, and all things fungal.

I am interested how microbial interactions and tightly-coupled biogeochemical cycles drive the ecological and evolutionary dynamics of populations, with a current focus on the bacteria and archaea of marine aggregates and biofilms.
