Pearse et al. have a new publication in press at Ecology. Good job, Will!

Congratulations to Megan O’Connell, OSU biology major and budding tropical ecologist. Megan has been awarded an internship at STRI for the summer of 2013.  Megan will be working with us on the drought responses of seedlings project.  Way to go Megan!

The lab has received NSF funding for a project entitled “Intraspecific variation in drought responses of tropical tree seedlings – consequences for species distributions under climate change”.  The work is a multidisciplinary study in collaboration with Drs. Liza Comita (Ohio State) and Bettina Engelbrecht (U. Bayeruth).  The team will be looking at the degree to…

McInnes et al. have a new publication in PLoS ONE.  Nice work Lynsey!
