Research Interests
I lead a team of post-doctoral researchers, PhD, and undergraduate research students seeking to understand the fundamental drivers of animal and plant population processes in a rapidly changing world. I use these discoveries to provide support for environmental decisions in the areas of biodiversity conservation, invasive species management and habitat restoration. I use a wide range of tools and approaches that combine data collection in the lab, field or from the literature with quantitative modeling techniques that enable analysis and prediction of responses of populations to underlying drivers and manipulations. My primary expertise is in comparative plant population dynamics, invasive plant management and predicting responses of populations to global change.

Big Data Takes Root in the Plant World
Professor of Zoology at Trinity College Dublin, Yvonne Buckley, talks about the COMPADRE Plant Matrix database, which comprises life history data gathered from almost 600 plants found on five different continents. By making these data freely available to scientists and researchers across the globe, she hopes that research questions will be posed - and answered...

Mapping the pace and shape of life across the Animal Kingdom
Zoologists from Trinity have pinpointed the “pace” and “shape” of life as the two key elements in animal life cycles that affect how different species get by in the world. Their findings, which come from a detailed assessment of 121 species ranging from humans to sponges...
