Biography
Prof Adrienne Nicotra is a plant evolutionary ecologist with an interest in the capacity of plants to respond to the environment and environmental change – what we call phenotypic plasticity. Her work focuses on native species from a wide range of environments, though she is particularly fond of mountain flora. Adrienne joined ANU as a postdoctoral fellow in 1998 and has been there ever since, now as a Professor in the Division of Ecology and Evolution in the Research School of Biology. In addition to her research work, Adrienne teaches, supervises honours and postgraduate students and is the director of the Australian Mountain Research Facility.
