Food Webs of East African Savannas

Mpala Research Centre

For more than a decade, we have worked to understand plant-herbivore interactions across East Africa using a combination of molecular and experimental approaches. Much of this work has focused on Mpala Research Centre in Kenya (Project BASEPAIR). Current research emphasizes the need to understand how variation in resource availability cascades through food webs at the fast pace and large scale of conservation decision-making.
