|
219 Bodega Marine Lab |
Ecological biomechanics and biological physical coupling in coastal marine systems, focusing on how the scaling of physical processes places bounds on organismal design and ecological pattern. |
|
|
4328 Storer |
Ecology, Evolution and Developmental Biology: Relationships among genetics, development and life history evolution; evolution of dispersal strategies and larval behavior in sessile marine invertebrates; ecological and evolutionary significance of compatibility systems in clonal organisms. |
|

|
|
2208 Storer |
Animal communication and sexual selection; the causes and functional implications of directional sound radiation in songbirds; sexual selection and acoustic communication in sage-grouse and other Galliformes; the possible effects of noise from energy development on acoustic communication and breeding behaviors of sage-grouse. |

6314 Storer |
Ecology; island ecology; lizard population biology; spider ecology; predation; resource partitioning; food webs; spacing behavior; mathematical models of population interactions; feeding strategies. |
|
|
5348 Storer |
Theoretical ecology, evolution, and epidemiology. Current projects involve applying tools from dynamical systems and stochastic processes to understand how spatio-temporal variation, individual heterogeneity, and phenotypic plasticity influence population viability, community assembly, and evolution of species interactions. |
|
|
3208 Storer |
Quantitative Genetics, Systematics and Functional Morphology, particularly of amphibians and reptiles; amphibian reptile ecology. |
|
|
6347 Storer |
Population biology of colonizing species, insect-host plant relationships, ecological genetics, population biology and systematics of the butterflies, biogeography, evolution. Geography and vegetation of the Andean region; phenotypic plasticity; insect photoperiodism; philosophy of biological sciences. |
|
|
4330 Storer |
Population and community ecology of seaweeds and marine invertebrates. Current projects address (1) the role of positive interactions (mutualism, facilitation) in marine communities; (2) how factors such as species diversity, larval supply and disturbance affect the invasion of marine communities by exotic species; and (3) direct and indirect chemical mediation of interactions between marine plants and invertebrates. |
