Kerry Bohl Stricker joined the lab as a post doc on our NSF-funded project evaluating pathogen accumulation on Microstegium. She comes to us from the Stiling Lab at USF where she worked on enemy release as a mechanism for plant invasions. See her recent paper in Ecology 93:8, 2012.
Congratulations to Bryan who received a research grant from The Explorers Club for his work on forest restoration and bird conservation in Colombia this summer!
We recently published a paper on how to experimentally evaluate the invasion risk of biofuel crops (open access PDF). Popular press article here.
Erin Hamilton, an undergraduate research assistant in the lab, landed a full time job as an ecologist with Ground Level out of Bartow, FL. Congrats Erin!
