A unified biology during the 21st century and its impact on our lives and our environment
A unified biology during the 21st century and its impact on our lives and our environment Professor Nils Christian Stenseth from the Centre for Ecological and Evolutionary Synthesis at the University of Oslo will give a discourse on Thursday, 30 March 2017 at 6 pm in Academy House. Professor Stenseth's research interests span a broad spectrum of ecological and evolutionary topics, most of which are rooted in population biology. His research is primarily focussed on merging ecological and evolutionary thinking as well as better understanding the feedback-loop between ecology and evolution: ecology causes evolution through ecologically-based selective pressure, and when evolution occurs, the ecological interactions within the ecosystem may change - potentially leading to a modified ecologically-based selective pressure.
