Jeannine Cavender-Bares

Jeannine Cavender-Bares is a professor at the University of Minnesota in the Department of Ecology, Evolution & Behavior.[1] Her research integrates evolutionary biology, ecology, and physiology by studying the functional traits of plants, with a particular focus on oaks.[2]

Early life and Education

Cavender-Bares grew up in Athens, Ohio. She received her B.A. in environmental sciences from Cornell University in 1990, her Masters in Forestry and Global Change from Yale University in 1992[3] and her PhD from Harvard University in 2000.[4] At Harvard Jeannine worked with Fakhri A. Bazzaz[5] and studied the physiological and evolutionary ecology of oaks (Quercus). She then worked as a postdoctoral research fellow at the Smithsonian Environmental Research Center with Catherine E. Lovelock[6] and at the French National Centre for Scientific Research in Montpellier with Serge Rambal and Richard Joffre.[7]

Career and Research

She is a leading researcher in the field of 'eco-phylogenetics' or 'community phylogenetics' (her review[8] has been cited over 1500 times), and organized a special issue of the journal Ecology on that topic.[9] Cavender-Bares' research group uses concepts from the evolutionary history of plant physiology to understand how ecosystems function in the face of global climate change.

Cavender-Bares is one of the coordinating lead authors of the Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES) report for the Americas.[10] The IPBES is an independent intergovernmental body supported by multiple nations with the mission to "strengthen the science-policy interface for biodiversity and ecosystem services for the conservation and sustainable use of biodiversity, long-term human well-being and sustainable development." [11] In 2016, she helped launch the Oaks of the Americas Conservation Network, which promotes the protection of oak species across North America.[12][13]

She was a principal investigator of the NSF/NASA Dimensions of biodiversity project "Linking remotely sensed optical diversity to genetic, phylogenetic and functional diversity to predict ecosystem processes" [14] and lead editor for the open access book Remote Sensing of Plant Biodiversity [15].

Publications

As of 2020, Jeannine has published over 140 peer-reviewed journal articles or international assessments and 10 book chapters that have been cited over 20,000 times [16].
