Courtenay Ray

I am an ecologist and National Science Foundation Postdoctoral Fellow in Lauren Shoemaker‘s lab at the University of Wyoming and Lauren Hallett‘s lab at the University of Oregon. I study species interactions and community assembly processes and am especially interested in climate variation and environments with strong abiotic filters, such as alpine, desert, and arctic plant communities. Currently, I use a mix of greenhouse and field-based approaches in my research with focal communities representative of northern California serpentine grasslands and alpine tundra in the Colorado Rocky Mountains. My current CV is available here.
