Chandra Jack
My broad research interests are the evolution and ecology of complex biotic interactions between individuals and their subsequent effect on fitness and population structure. It has long been accepted that ecology influences evolution but only recently has is it become recognized that evolution can influence ecological processes and change community dynamics. My research explores how…

Nathan Ahlgren
Professor Ahlgren is a marine microbial ecologist. He is interested in understanding how environmental factors and interactions between microbes and viruses shape the evolution, diversity, and structure of microbial communities. Marine microbial communities are extremely diverse and control globally important cycles in the flow of nutrients and carbon on our planet. A fundamental component to…
