Karoline Ford

Hello, I'm Karoline (they/them)! I am currently researching how climate change alters the chemical composition of invasive Japanese Knotweed, and the resulting impacts on the efficacy of the psyllid Aphalara itadori as a biocontrol agent. I am originally from Omaha, Nebraska, where I earned my B.S. in Biology with minors in Chemistry and Environmental Science from the University of Nebraska at Omaha. Broadly, I am interested in plant-herbivore interactions and the application of ecological theory to land management and policy decisions. I love hiking, rock climbing, and exploring new places!
