EEB Series Seminar: Dr. Scott Egan
2406-A MSCDr. Scott Egan, Department of Biosciences, Rice University Title: "Ecological speciation among herbivorous insect populations" Abstract: Speciation describes the evolutionary process by which new biological species arise. Understanding the mechanisms contributing to this process is a fundamental question in evolutionary biology. One form of speciation, termed ecological speciation, describes the process by which ecologically based divergent selection between environments leads to the evolution of […]

EEB Series Seminar: Dr. Michelle Lawing
2406-A MSCDr. Michelle Lawing, Department of Ecosystem Science & Management, Texas A&M University Title: "Null models for the ecometric study of trait-climate correlations at continental scales" Abstract: The sorting of species along climatic gradients based on traits is a key topic to understanding the impacts of global climatic change in the past, present, and future, as well as […]

EEB Seminar Series
MSC, Room 1400Title: Transposable elements and the evolution of the very large genomes of conifers Presented by Dr. Claudio Casola, Assistant Professor of Forest Genomics, Department of Ecosystem Science and Management, Texas A&M University Abstract: The majority of eukaryotic genomes is riddled with transposable elements (TEs), a group of ‘parasitic’ repetitive sequences capable of mobilizing and amplifying […]
