Research focus and expertise

Dr. Clark serves as professor of the Ada Hayden Herbarium and the interim chair of the Department of Ecology, Evolution and Organismal Biology (EEOB) at Iowa State University. Her area of expertise is in plant systematics and evolution, and her research program involves four main lines of investigation: 1) bamboo systematics and evolution based on both morphological and molecular data; 2) floristic inventory and monography of Neotropical bamboos; 3) the evolution and development of vegetative features (e.g., leaf shape and 3-D leaf anatomy) within the grass family; and 4) functional trait ecology and evolution in fire-adapted Neotropical bamboos.
