Jonathan Morris

Jonathan Morris
Resource Ecology Management (REM)
jonno@umich.edu
Entering Year
2018

Jonathan (Jonno) Morris is a PhD Candidate in the Ecosystem Science and Management track at SEAS. Before beginning his PhD, he completed a master’s in Conservation Ecology and conducted field research in Mexico, Peru, Panama, and Ann Arbor. Jonno’s doctoral research focuses on the community ecology of natural pest control in agroecosystems. His research is driven primarily by two questions: First, how do complex communities of natural enemies regulate pests? Second, how does agricultural management impact that ecology? He has investigated these questions primarily by chasing around ants in the coffee farms of southern Mexico. He also uses ecological theory to model pest control community dynamics with the aim of understanding how more realistic levels of diversity, interaction complexity, and spatial components of the agricultural landscape impact pest control function.
