Amy Wolf is a Professor of Natural and Applied Sciences at UW-Green Bay. Her work focuses on the ecology of plant-animal interactions, including studies of host-specific insects (northern blue butterfly), rare plants (serpentine morning glory), and Wisconsin bees. She teaches an upper level and graduate course in wetland ecology at UW-Green Bay, and in 2006 she and Brad Herrick received the Chandler-Misener Award from the Journal of Great Lakes Research for their paper on diked vs. undiked coastal wetlands. She is a co-leader of the Wabikon Forest Dynamics Plot, part of a global network of intensive, long-term forest research sites initiated by the Smithsonian Institution’s Center for Tropical Forest Science. Undergraduates and graduate students under her supervision have studied invasive plant species, aquatic macrophytes, forest understory plants, bat biology, and pollination ecology. She earned her bachelor’s and master’s degrees from UW-Green Bay in biology and environmental science and policy (respectively) and her Ph.D. in ecology from the University of California at Davis.
