	Amy Zanne, Ph.D. George Washington University ARIP Professor Assistant Professor of biology Physiology, ecology and evolution Website: http://phylodiversity.net/azanne/ Areas of Expertise The research focus is typically not at the species but at the trait composition level. As selection will be acting within and among species via their expresses functional traits. Currently the lab has three themes: 1. Understanding interspecific differences in the wood decomposition rates. 2. Plant functional traits relationships and environmental gradients. 3. Global functional trait databases. Visit lab website
