Name: Davalos, Andrea (Researcher)

Institution: Cornell University

Description of Expertise:

I am an applied ecologist, broadly focused on community dynamics, especially in the context of plant-herbivore interactions and the spatial and temporal scales at which they occur. My work is motivated by a strong interest in conservation and in the development of tools to restore natural ecosystems. I am particularly interested in addressing issues pertaining to the ecology and management of biological invasions and the factors that drive successful control programs.

Name: Dovciak, Martin (Researcher)

Institution: SUNY ESF

Description of Expertise:

I have general interests in plant ecology, vegetation management, and invasion ecology. I studied the effects of vegetation management on dispersal of a range of invasive plants in New York State powerline corridors as well as the effects of beech bark disease on forest stand dynamics in the Adirondack mountains. I am currently interested in invasive species richness in NYS forests.
