Overview

Edwin D. Grosholz is affiliated with the University of California, Davis in the United States. Their research focuses extensively on environmental science and earth and planetary sciences, contributing notably to the fields of global and planetary change, ecology, oceanography, and nature and landscape conservation.

The scientist's work spans several main topics, including marine and coastal plant biology, marine bivalve and aquaculture studies, coral and marine ecosystems studies, marine and fisheries research, coastal wetland ecosystem dynamics, marine ecology and invasive species, and marine biology and ecology research.

Recent publications authored or co-authored by Edwin D. Grosholz cover various aspects of ecological and environmental science:

  • Functional eradication as a framework for invasive species control (2020), published in Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment
  • Increasing the resilience of ecological restoration to extreme climatic events (2022), published in Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment
  • Stage-specific overcompensation, the hydra effect, and the failure to eradicate an invasive predator (2021), published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences
  • Balanced polymorphism fuels rapid selection in an invasive crab despite high gene flow and low genetic diversity (2021), published in Molecular Ecology
  • Nutrients mitigate the impacts of extreme drought on plant invasions (2020), published in Ecology

Edwin D. Grosholz frequently collaborates with several co-authors, including Chela J. Zabin, Kerstin Wasson, Jordan A. Hollarsmith, Catherine E. de Rivera, and Kathryn L. Cottingham.

The scientist has published multiple articles in specific venues, with repeated contributions to journals such as Ecology, Ecosphere, Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment, Estuaries and Coasts, and PLoS ONE.
