EEB Series Seminar: Dr. Kirk Winemiller
ILSB, 1st Floor Audtitorium Texas A&M University, College Station, TX, United StatesKirk Winemiller, Aquatic Ecology Lab, Department of Wildlife and Fisheries Sciences, TAMU Title: “Functional traits, convergent evolution, and a periodic table of niches” Abstract: Ecology is often said to lack general theories sufficiently predictive for practical applications. Noting community ecology’s reinvigorated interest in functional traits, I will explore the feasibility of a periodic table of […]

EEB Series Seminar: Dr. Sarah Hamer
2406-A MSCDr. Sarah Hamer, Department of Veterinary Integrative Biosciences, Texas A&M University College of Veterinary Medicine Title: "Chagas disease ecology at the intersection of human, animal, and vector populations" Abstract: The maintenance of vector-borne zoonotic pathogens in nature is often sustained by cryptic transmission among wildlife reservoirs with occasional spillover to humans. I will present my lab’s […]

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 […]
