Lindsay Turnbull is a plant ecologist focused on understanding the differences in plant species and their evolutionary consequences on ecosystems. Her research includes notable examples, such as the coco de Mer, a palm tree from the Seychelles, whose large seeds can be deadly if one happens to be underneath as they fall. In contrast, her studies also explore orchids, which produce small, poorly provisioned seeds that require mycorrhizal fungi for germination. The diversity of plant species and their interactions within ecosystems persist as key questions driving her research. Recent projects have explored interactions between plants and insects, the effects of organic farming on biodiversity, and modeling plant growth. More information about her projects and group members can be found on her lab webpage.
