OverviewAI-generated summary

Erin L. Sauer's research investigates the ecological drivers and consequences of species invasions and disease dynamics in aquatic and terrestrial systems. Her work examines how factors such as habitat complexity, connectivity, and the presence of introduced species influence community structure and food webs. Sauer has also studied the impact of diet on host pathology and tolerance during infection, as well as factors influencing disease transmission in avian systems.

Sauer has received a Graduate Research Fellowship Program (GRFP) award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) totaling $147,200. She has a productive collaboration network within the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville, with notable shared publications with Sarah E. DuRant, Weston Perrine, Ashley C. Love, and Jeffrey A. Lewis. Sauer's scholarly output is reflected in her h-index of 14, with 47 total publications and 1,830 citations. She maintains an active lab website, indicating ongoing research activities.
