About

Sheila Schueller is the instructor for NRE 509, the core ecology course for incoming masters students. She completed her M.S. and Ph.D. in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at the University of Michigan and previously served as Assistant Director of the Ecosystem Management Initiative at the school. She has been teaching Ecology and Field Biology courses since 2002, both at U of M and at Eastern Michigan University. She also worked for several years as an adaptive management consultant, developing practical guides and facilitating workshops on evaluation and monitoring for conservation organizations across the country. Her ecological research has focused on plant-animal interactions, especially the pollination and seed dispersal of invasive plants in Michigan, the California Channel Islands, and Greece. In teaching she seeks to integrate student field activities with the real-world data needs of local natural resource planners and managers.
