Implications of gene-environment interplay for the evolution of behavior: insights from Drosophila melanogaster
HFSB 104EEB Seminar Presented by Dr. Julia Saltz, Assistant Professor of BioSciences, Rice University Dr. Saltz's work aims to understand the development and evolution of intra-population individual differences in behavior, with a particular focus on social behaviors. Why do individuals of the same species develop dramatic differences in behavior? How is this diversity maintained in the face […]

A sustainability science perspective on the regional scale gradient in forest cover in the Upper Midwest and Great Lakes basin
HFSB 104ABS Seminar co-hosted with EEB Presented by William S. Currie, Professor, School for Environment and Sustainability, University of Michigan Abstract: Sustainability as a framework for considering human and ecological interactions has evolved over more than three decades.

Animal migrations and resource subsidies influence river ecosystem dynamics
ABS Seminar, Co-hosted with Ecology and Evolutionary Biology Presented by Dr. Amanda Subalusky, Postdoctoral Associate, Yale University Animal migrations can play an important role in moving resources across ecosystem boundaries, and these resource subsidies can strongly influence food web structure and ecosystem function. In the Mara River, East Africa, large animal migrations provide substantial portions of […]
