Summary
MJ驶s research is focused on how variation in water availability shapes the phytochemical diversity of Great Basin Desert plant assemblages and, in turn, affects their associated lepidopterans. She is more broadly interested in the coevolutionary history and chemical ecology of specialized lepidopterans and their host plants.
