Graduate Student Plant Biology Undergraduate Association (PBUA) Liaison (2024-2025) Email: anna.wyngaarden@uga.edu Lab: DeMarche Lab | Miller Plant Sciences Research Research Areas: Ecology & Global Change Research Interests: I’m interested in the ecological and evolutionary drivers of the biogeographic patterns of rare, and endemic species. I pair demographic data with quantitative modeling techniques to explore how these patterns may shift in response to environmental changes. My graduate work focuses on Gratiola amphiantha, or snorkelwort, a federally threatened species endemic to granite outcrop vernal pools. Grants: Catherine H.
