Dr. Padgett joined BSU in the Fall of 1999. His research focuses on plant ecology and evolution particularly among aquatic and wetland vascular plants. He has conducted both laboratory and field studies to examine questions of natural hybridization, phylogenetic history, and reproductive fecundity in aquatic plants, as well as broader floristic studies of species richness and composition in wetland plant communities. Dr. Padgett is currently exploring the roles aquatic turtles play in seed dispersal of aquatic plants.
