Stories by Ellen Crocker

Ellen Crocker is a graduate student in Prof. Eric Nelson's lab in the Department of Plant Pathology and Plant-Microbe Biology. She is interested in how plant pathogens shape plant community dynamics in natural ecosystems. Her research focuses on the roles of pathogens in the success of invasive plant species and seeks to better understand how pathogen community dynamics contribute to plant-soil feedbacks and apparent competition between plant species.
