ABOUT THE LAB
Welcome to the website for the Powell Lab, based in the Department of Biological Sciences at the George Washington University. We work on research questions at the interface of evolutionary ecology and community ecology. We use ants to tackle these questions. We are particularly interested in the intimately connected questions of how ecological interactions have shaped trait evolution, and how species traits influence the assembly of contemporary communities. For more information, please follow the links above and click on the photos from the field below. We welcome all people with a passion for science, and we are committed to an open and inclusive research environment. If you have further questions about our work, or want to know about opportunities to join us, please get in touch via e-mail.
