Summary

The Richards Lab focuses on a wide range of chemically mediated ecological interactions. We are particularly interested in the role of plant chemistry in structuring diverse ecological communities.  We utilize a multidisciplinary approach that combines field and laboratory approaches with the latest spectroscopic tools in organic chemistry to address basic ecological questions.
