About Morgan Tingley
Tingley Lab – Global Change Ecology & Conservation
I am an ornithologist, conservation biologist, and community and quantitative ecologist.
My research combines original data collected in the field with biodiversity informatics (“big data”) and novel quantitative modeling techniques to understand critical ecological questions about organisms. I am most interested in how large-scale anthropogenic drivers of change (e.g., climate change, invasive species, land-use change, fire regimes) affect geographic distributions and community interactions over short (years) to long (centuries) timespans. I collaborate with a diverse array of scientists in many fields and am always looking for new opportunities, exciting data, and intriguing systems.
I am currently a Professor in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at the University of California, Los Angeles. I am interested in hearing from potential Ph.D. applicants as well as postdoctoral researchers. If you are a prospective student or postdoc with research interests that align with mine, please read my FAQ about opportunities in my lab.
