Overview

Thomas E. Miller is affiliated with Florida State University in the United States and has a body of research focusing primarily on agricultural and biological sciences, environmental science, and earth and planetary sciences. Their work spans several interrelated subfields, including oceanography, ecology, ecology, evolution, behavior and systematics, plant science, and signal processing.

The scientist's main research topics include marine and coastal plant biology, coastal wetland ecosystem dynamics, marine biology and ecology research, plant and animal studies, plant and biological electrophysiology studies, plant parasitism and resistance, and speech and audio processing.

Their recent published papers reflect a focus on ecological and microbial community dynamics. These publications include:

  • The evolution of niche overlap and competitive differences (2021, Nature Ecology & Evolution)
  • Composition of seagrass phyllosphere microbial communities suggests rapid environmental regulation of community structure (2021, FEMS Microbiology Ecology)
  • Host and environmental determinants of microbial community structure in the marine phyllosphere (2020, PLoS ONE)
  • Environmental stressors alter the composition of seagrass phyllosphere microbial communities (2021, Climate Change Ecology)
  • Predator dispersal influences predator distribution but not prey diversity in pitcher plant microbial metacommunities (2022, Ecology)

Thomas E. Miller has frequently collaborated with several coauthors, including Olivia U. Mason, Margaret A. Vogel, Catalina Cuellar-Gempeler, Abigail I. Pastore, and Casey P. terHorst.

The scientist has published in multiple venues, with repeated contributions to journals such as PLoS ONE and The American Naturalist. Other publication venues include Nature Ecology & Evolution, FEMS Microbiology Ecology, and Climate Change Ecology.
