Biology Seminar today, 11:30am-12:20pm, with Dr. Matt Litvak. Join in next Friday, January 24th @ 11:30, with Dr. Anna Hargraves (virtual session) ~ tune in on Teams or with others in AVDX G10 as Dr. Hargraves from McGill discusses "Where do species interactions matter most?"

[Mount Allison University Faculty of Science @mta_science]

Research in the Hargraves Lab straddles ecology and evolution. We are especially interested in adaptation in range-edge populations, interactions among flowers and their visitors, and the role biotic interactions play in shaping species’ geographic distributions.
