Interaction Ecology Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A lab that unravels how organisms such as plants and insects interact with one another.
AboutAbout the lab
Unraveling how organisms interact
The Interaction Ecology Lab studies how interactions among organisms change depending on place and environment.
It investigates what kinds of interactions between organisms arise from differences in environment and evolutionary history, and how these interactions lead to variation and evolution in organisms' ecology and reproduction.
The keywords of its research are plant-insect interactions, defense against herbivory, pollinating and herbivorous insects, and geographic variation.
The lab wants to deepen understanding of how organisms respond, and how their relationships change, in cities, where the environment changes dramatically and varies widely.
Key terms
- Defense against herbivory
- Defenses that plants and other organisms have to protect themselves from being eaten
- Pollinating and herbivorous insects
- Insects that carry pollen, and insects that eat plants
- Geographic variation
- Differences in the characteristics of organisms within the same species depending on location
ResearchResearch themes
Organisms interact with many other organisms in complex ways and form close relationships. These relationships change depending on place and environment.
