	Dr. Darren Sandquist (email: dsandquist@fullerton.edu): Research in the Sandquist Lab focuses on the physiological ecology of plants, especially in terms of how plants respond to global changes such as increasing temperature, decreasing water availability and increasing competition from alien species. Many studies in the lab employ stable isotopes of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen or nitrogen as indicators of plant resource use and productivity responses to environmental variability. SCERP scholars that have worked in the Sandquist Lab include Susana Espino Hernandez, Tracy Valentovich, and Amy Arispe.
	Dr. Jochen Schenk (email: jschenk@fullerton.edu): The Schenk Lab investigates plant ecology, including structure-function relationships of plant hydraulic systems, root ecology, and ecology of desert plants. SCERP scholars that have worked in the Schenk Lab include Christine Goedhart, Jeremy Smith, and Lauren Velasco. Susana Espino Hernandez is a masters student in the lab.
	Dr. Paul Stapp
	Dr. Sean Walker (email: swalker@fullerton.edu): The primary research interests in the Walker Lab are in the cognitive, behavioral, and evolutionary ecology of terrestrial invertebrates. Research focuses on animal decision making as it relates to foraging and reproduction (e.g., mate choice and reproductive investment). In addition students are pursuing projects related to animal communication, the evolution of sex differences, and the evolution of alternative tactics and strategies. Additional work focuses on estimating and comparing terrestrial invertebrate biodiversity and pollination biology. SCERP scholars that have worked in the Walker Lab include Robert Rodarte, Romeo Sison, Leslie Buena, and Eric Peralta.
