Regular biography
Amy Angert is a Professor in the Department of Zoology at The University of British Columbia. Her research focuses on ecology and evolution, specifically investigating the evolutionary ecology of geographic distributions. She explores questions related to adaptation at the edges of species' ranges, variation in range size, and potential shifts in species ranges due to climate change. Angert's work includes examining biotic interactions and their effects on fitness across latitudes. Her lab website provides additional information on her research and publications.

Scholar-generated biography
Amy L. Angert is a Professor of Botany at the University of British Columbia, specializing in evolution, ecology, and population biology. Her research explores the evolutionary and ecological mechanisms that shape species' range limits, focusing on how genetic, demographic, and environmental factors interact to determine species distributions. Angert's work often employs transplant experiments and ecological niche modeling to investigate the role of species interactions, climate change, and functional trade-offs in determining range boundaries. Her studies highlight the importance of demographic processes and genetic adaptation in response to environmental gradients and climate change.
