Diane S. Srivastava (born 1969) is a professor of community ecology and ecology of species diversity. Having grown up in the outdoors of Nova Scotia, she attended multiple universities to eventually earn a Ph.D. focused on the ecology of aquatic plants. Her subsequent research after becoming a postdoctoral researcher and then a professor at the University of British Columbia centered around the interactions of bromeliads with species diversity of their surrounding environment, particularly in the neotropics.
