The Utah State University Ecology Center hosts top researchers in their fields once a month to give two research talks. The first talk (Wednesday) is a more general overview of their work, with the second talk (Thursday) being more specialized. All are welcome.

This month, the Ecology Center is hosting Dr. James Bever. James Bever studies the ecology and evolution of plant-microbe interactions by integrating theory with experiments. He pioneered the plant-soil feedback experimental and theoretical approach. His work identified critical roles of soil pathogens and mutualists in the structure and function of terrestrial communities, and the value of reintroduction of native soil mutualists for restoration of native plant communities. He is currently a Distinguished Professor at the University of Kansas.

Come join us 10/22 and 10/23 for these sure-to-be amazing talks.
