Ecology Center Seminar with Dr. Lauren Ponisio

Conference/Seminar

Dr. Lauren Ponisio will be joining us from the Department of Biology at the University of Oregon. Wednesday 12/10 @ 4 pm in BNR 102: From pollination to overcompensation: How sublethal herbicide drift alters plant traits, fitness, and ecological interactions Thursday 12/11 @ 4 pm in BNR 102: Moderated Discussion   About Dr. Ponisio: The Ponisio lab focuses on understanding how species interactions maintain species diversity and how we can harness these processes to manage and restore diversity in human-modified habitats. Understanding the processes that maintain diversity can help to predict population and community vulnerability to global change. The first core ecological theme of our work is to study community assembly through the lens of species interactions, examining how mutualistic and parasitic relationships shape and are shaped by community characteristics. The second core theme is to examine how species interactions affect the vulnerability of populations and communities to global change. A new direction in my research focuses on developing non-lethal bee monitoring techniques using automated sensor systems and computer vision.
