Community Ecology in Mesocosms
Hey lab (and world)! Check out this article:
Experimentally assessing the relative importance of predation and competition as agents of selection
Another one of these crazy whole-island experiments. Upscaling from our mesocosms ;-). I loved the evolution-ecology connection. And the idea of letting anoles run on a treadmill as a measure of reptile fitness. Did they also measure their body mass index? People do weird things in the name of science.
Srivastava lab madrecita Jana would like to welcome our new lab members!!!
Hi Martin, Angie, Virginia, Edd! We are glad you joined the lab! This makes at least 13 of us now. Up from 2 at the same time last year! Exponential population growth? You bet! And crazy increase in diversity. We come from 9 countries, right? i.e. our Shannon-Wiener is 2.13! And the majority of us speak Spanish in some way. I am proud of this global mesocosm!
