Lauren Carley is an Assistant Professor in the Ecology & Evolution Department at the University of Chicago. She specializes in evolutionary ecology, focusing on how natural selection shapes intraspecific variation in plant traits and how this variation influences essential ecological processes such as species interactions, adaptation, population dynamics, and speciation. Her work emphasizes the evolution of plant defensive chemistry in the context of environmental change. Carley’s research integrates various ecological interactions and evolutionary mechanisms to address critical challenges faced by plant populations in changing environments.
