Ph.D. candidate
Jake is a Ph.D. student interested in endophytic and epiphytic fungi in plant species in the Convolvulaceae – mostly in the genus Ipomoea – and their effect on specialist and generalist tortoise beetles. He is also interested in endophytic fungal alkaloids and the ecological role they play in affecting insect herbivore development. His research interests include ecological biochemistry, coevolution, and entomology.
