Lauren Carley is an evolutionary ecologist whose research interests focus on how natural selection shapes intraspecific variation in plant traits and how this variation influences processes such as species interactions, adaptation, population dynamics, and speciation. Her work investigates the evolution of plant defensive chemistry in the context of environmental change. She obtained her Bachelor’s degree in Biology from Reed College in 2012 and completed her PhD in Ecology at Duke University in 2020. This background informs her interdisciplinary approach, integrating ecological theory with practical implications for conservation and biodiversity management.
