Stephen M. Hovick studies how invasive plant species establish, spread, and interact with native plants, particularly in wetlands and other disturbed habitats. His work combines field experiments, genetics, and ecological monitoring to understand the evolutionary and ecological mechanisms behind plant invasions and to inform restoration and management strategies. Prospective students would likely engage with topics spanning invasion biology, plant evolution, wetland ecology, and applied restoration science.
