Maria N. Miriti

Maria N. Miriti's work spans plant ecology—particularly desert shrub demography, seed dispersal, and the ecological and evolutionary dynamics of crop-wild plant hybrids—alongside research on diversity, equity, and inclusion in the ecology and environmental science professions. Recent work focuses heavily on understanding barriers to recruitment, retention, and belonging for underrepresented groups in ecology, including studies centered on the experiences of Black women and other marginalized scientists. A prospective student could expect exposure to both plant population ecology methods and social-science approaches to studying diversity in STEM fields.

Publication output has been relatively steady but modest over the past decade, with a peak in 2019, a gap in 2024, and continued low-volume activity through 2025-2026.
