Amy Angert

Her research is known for pioneering experimental approaches to study species geographic distributions.

Angert co-authored one of the most influential reviews of the ecological and evolutionary mechanisms that limit species geographic ranges.

[1] Her synthesis of climate-driven range shifts highlighted the difficulty in predicting which species will be able to track climate change.

Experiments with Seema Sheth showed that range-edge populations can harbour substantial adaptive variation and responded to artificial selection.

Much of her work involves plant in the genus Mimulus as ecological and evolutionary models.
