Her PhD dissertation was entitled The influence of herbivores on plant communities: experimental studies of a subalpine meadow ecosystem.
In 2012, Huntly and colleagues found that a lack of recognition of three factors act as obstacles to river restoration: contaminants, habitat carrying capacity, and hybrid food webs.
