Urban work in north St. Louis begins with a community event
Victims of chronic flooding, dozens of homes in the Baden neighborhood will be demolished this summer. But a team of Washington University in St. Louis researchers, together with the City of St. Louis, the Missouri Botanical Garden and the Missouri Department of Conservation, are determined to help the community create something better in the neighborhood.

Paper on agricultural wetlands in press
Our paper with colleagues at the University of Central Florida is in press at Agriculture, Ecosystems & Environment.
Our paper with colleagues at the University of Central Florida is in press at Agriculture, Ecosystems & Environment. Our work in agricultural wetlands embedded in two types of pasture management regimes (intense management and semi-natural) showed that land management results in different wetland communities (not surprising), but can also influence the relative role of local, niche-based factors and regional, dispersal-based factors that drive local biodiversity. Interestingly, this modulating influence of pasture management on local diversity differs by taxonomic group (insects, vertebrates, plants), an important consideration when restoring wetland communities in disturbed landscapes.
New postdoctoral associate
Dr. Katie Westby recently joined the Tyson team. She came to us from Dr. Steve Juliano's lab at Illinois State, so she obviously has world-class mossie skills. Welcome Katie!
