Welcome! Here you will find information about the Terry Lab in the Department of Integrative Biology at Oregon State University. You can learn about who we are, what we’re up to, and how to join us. We are interested in the temporal and spatial responses of terrestrial communities to changes in climate and anthropogenic land-use over modern, historical, and paleontological time-scales. We also focus on how geological records of ecological information form. Our research integrates the perspectives, tools, and data archives of biology and geology, and is motivated by the need to better understand and predict the future fates of species and ecosystems in our rapidly changing world.

Research interests include: Conservation Paleobiology, Paleoecology, Historical Ecology, Community and Functional Ecology, Evolutionary Ecology, Mammalogy, Taphonomy, and Climate Change.
