Seminars
The Ecology and Evolutionary Biology Department has been working hard and monitoring, as well as planning, for COVID-19/Coronavirus and the safety of the UCLA community. We understand that we live in very uncertain times and with news about the virus changing frequently, we appreciate your cooperation. Please know the department is committed to working in everyone’s best interest—students, faculty, staff, and community at large.

" Can We Predict Changes in Microbial Communities?” "
Microbial communities are central in many ecological processes, from our own nutrition, to planetary level biochemical cycles. Ecological and evolutionary dynamics in these communities can be hard to predict, due to the roles of stochasticity and complex interactions between members. In this talk, I will argue that metabolic constraints provide an avenue to predict ecological and evolutionary dynamics in simple microbial communities. Seminar will be presented live, in-person, in Hershey Hall, Room 158 Seminar will also be live-streamed via Zoom
