Boise State University is a Carnegie-classified doctoral research university and our students have opportunities to work with talented and accomplished faculty on research, even as undergraduates. Our students go into the workforce better prepared, with expertise outside of their major by taking advantage of opportunities such as certificates in business anthropology, entrepreneurship, or cybersecurity.

A drought Genotype x Environment (GxE) experiment was conducted as part of the Idaho GEM3 project to assess phenotypic plasticity and differential gene expression across two populations (one from Idaho, USA and one from Utah, USA) of diploid...

Biodiversity science encompasses multiple disciplines and biological scales from molecules to landscapes. Nevertheless, biodiversity data are often analyzed separately with discipline-specific methodologies, constraining resulting inferences to a...
Interactions between neighboring plants are critical for biodiversity maintenance in plant populations and communities. Intraspecific trait variation and genome duplication are common in plant species and can drive eco-evolutionary dynamics...
1. Despite broad recognition that water is a major limiting factor in arid ecosystems, we lack an empirical understanding of how this resource is shared and distributed among neighboring plants. Intraspecific variability can further contribute to...
Post-fire restoration of degraded sagebrush ecosystems over large areas of the Great Basin is challenging, in part due to unpredictable outcomes. Low rates of restoration success are attributed to increasing frequencies of wildfires, biological...
Changes in fire regimes, invasive species dynamics, human land use, and drought conditions have shifted important plant species in the Northern Great Basin (NGB)— including big sagebrush (Artemisia tridentata ssp.), conifers (e.g., Juniperus spp...
The Southwestern North America megadrought is an extreme climate event. Artemisia tridentata (big sagebrush) is the dominant, keystone species of sagebrush- steppe ecosystems in arid and semi-arid habitats of western North America. I conducted a...
Artemisia tridentata (big sagebrush) is an ecologically important shrub found in western North America. In vitro techniques can be applied to big sagebrush for the purpose of studying gene function, genotypic and phenotypic plasticity studies,...
