Haley Dunleavy, PhD ’21

“When I decided to pursue a career in science, my vision of what it would entail was hazy, to say the least. From growing up watching NOVA on PBS to exploring the ecological diversity of deserts, glaciers, coasts, and tundra during my undergraduate career, I knew that science excited me. […]

Contrasted effects of temperature during defoliation vs. refoliation periods on the infection of rubber powdery mildew (Oidium heveae) in Xishuangbanna, China

Rubber powdery mildew caused by the foliar fungi Oidium heveae is one of the main diseases affecting rubber plantations (Hevea brasiliensis) worldwide. It is particularly serious in sub-optimal growing areas, such as Xishuangbanna in SW China. To prevent and control this disease, fungicides causing serious environmental problems are widely used.

Urban warming advances spring phenology but reduces the response of phenology to temperature in the conterminous United States

Cities and their associated urban heat islands are ideal natural laboratories for evaluating the response of plant phenology to warming conditions. In this study, we demonstrate that the satellite-derived start of season for plants occurred earlier but showed less covariation with temperature in most of the large 85 cities across […]
