Dr. Casey terHorst, research associate at Kellogg Biological Station at Michigan State University, presents his research on "Dynamic Species Interactions in an Eco-Evolutionary Framework" at 3:30 p.m. today, Feb. 8, in 112 Life Sciences Building.

Dr. terHorst's research combines theoretical and experimental approaches that bridge the gap between evolutionary biology and community ecology. He asks how evolution affects species interactions and diversity, and reciprocally how multiple species interactions in diverse communities affect trait evolution. One focus of his research asks how evolution on ecological time scales affects the outcome of species interactions. However, the outcomes of species interactions in diverse communities, such as the aquatic systems resident within pitcher plants, are complicated by multiple direct and indirect interactions between many species. Consequently, he also examines the evolutionary importance of indirect species interactions to better understand how species evolve in a community context.

A talk about summer research experiences for undergraduates funded by the National Science Foundation will be given by Craig Zirbel and Andrew Zeller at 4 p.m. Feb. 9 in 459 Mathematical Sciences Building.  

Every summer at universities around the country, undergraduates move in for 10 weeks to participate in short, focused research programs directed by researchers, most often after their junior year. Generally, you get paid and have free room and board. Often, students work together on projects. Sometimes these lead to publishable papers. Almost always, students come back much more excited about doing research in their field. This talk will focus on REU's in mathematics, but REU's can be found in many other fields as well. Both speakers did REU's as part of their college experience, Andrew Zeller in mathematics and Dr. Zirbel in physics.
