Jenny Apple, Jenny worked as a post-doc on our Mount St. Helens projects for 2+ yrs, and has just completed a year of teaching at Willamette University (Salem Oregon). Since June 2005 she is at University of Kansas working with Tony Joerm.
B.S. Biology, University Puget Sound; Ph.D. Biology, University of Utah.

Research Interests: Plant-insect interactions, tropical ecology, conservation biology, nutrient stoichiometry

Graduate Students
Rudy Salakory B.S. Biology, Washington State University
Office: ELS 5

Josh Seeds
B.S. Biochemistry, Washington State University
Office: ELS 250
Research Interests: Restoration ecology, primary succession, alder colonization at Mount St. Helens
Josh's thesis is focussed on factors limiting colonization by Sitka Alder, especially the role of Frankia innoculation potential and P limitation.

Shannon Wills
B.S. Biology, minor in Archaeology, Stockton State College- New Jersey.
Office: ELS 205
Research Interests: Plant & insect ecology, restoration ecology, natural resource management.
Shannon is investigating the effect of competition and P availability on lupin palatability, and the causes of individual variation herbivore attack rates on lupin. She also works full time for the Cowlitz tribe.

Suann Yang
B.S. Biology, Cornell University
Office: (Pullman); Phone: 509 335-7162 (Webster lab).
Research Interests: Plant-frugivore coevolution and ecology. Suann is jointly advised by Mike Webster and myself.

Niamh O'Hara (New York University) Niamh is examining the response of insects to N and P enhancement on the Pumice Plain, and changes in the abundance of predators across the lupin density gradient. Her work is funded by an NSF REU fellowship. She presented her work was presented at the 2005 National Sigma Xi and is preparing it for publication.

Jen Griffith (Lamont Doherty Observatory) Jen worked with Jon Titus (co-PI) examining the effect of lupin, alders, nutrient limitation, and mycorrhizae on succession in general and conifer colonization in particular.
