Proposed research questions include:
* What are the effects of anthropogenic disturbance to the environment on the temporal and spatial distribution and phenology of microfungi? Human-induced impacts may include downstream effects due to land use changes in agricultural and natural ecosystems, the introduction of herbicides, fungicides, and pesticides, and increased atmospheric pollution.
* Can we use historic and current distributional patterns of microfungi as models for the early detection of invasive species to reduce their potential deleterious effects? Can we use these same data to detect endemism and biodiversity hotspots in microfungi?
* How do climatic changes influence the dispersal, distribution, and functioning of soil microfungi?
