Dr. Sonia Rathee, Ph.D.

About

I am a plant ecologist with an interest in population ecology, phenotypic plasticity, seed traits, role of intra- and inter-population variations in the adaptation and spread of the invasive plant species, and use of functional trait-based approaches to elucidate plant adaptation patterns along ecological gradients.
