Decoding Biological Invasions: Impacts and a New Approach to Management
Dr. Mariano Rodriguez-Cabal, University of Vermont
Dr. Mariano Rodriguez-Cabal, a researcher and instructor at the University of Michigan Biological Station (UMBS), is a featured speaker in the 2025 Summer Lecture Series at the research and teaching campus nestled along Douglas Lake in Pellston, Michigan.
Rodriguez-Cabal, who also is a research assistant professor at the University of Vermont in the Rubenstein School of Environment and Natural Resources, will give a talk titled “Decoding Biological Invasions: Impacts and a New Approach to Management.”
Rodriguez-Cabal is a field ecologist with broad interests in factors that generate, maintain, and threaten biodiversity. His research focuses on understanding how species and ecosystems respond to the rampant loss of biodiversity, climate change, and the spread of invasive species. He has 15+ years of active research focused on mutualisms loss, the loss of native species and the gain of invasive species, global warming and the impacts of habitat fragmentation on the diversity and structure of communities, and ecosystem processes.
Rodriguez-Cabal uses observational, experimental, meta-analytical, and theoretical approaches with the aim of understanding the indirect impacts of global change on biodiversity. Mariano has published 50 peer-reviewed articles on different questions and systems from slugs in British Columbia and ants in North Carolina to endemic marsupials and birds in Patagonia. He is a two-time winner of a Fulbright Scholarship.
His Ph.D. is from the Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at the University of Tennessee. Rodriguez-Cabal earned his master of science from the University of Florida’s Department of Wildlife Ecology and Conservation. His Licentiate in Biological Science is from the Universidad Nacional del Comahue-Centro Regional Universitario Bariloche, in Patagonia, Argentina.
The U-M Biological Station — the largest of U-M's campuses at more than 10,000 forested acres surrounded by lakes — is one of the nation's largest and longest continuously operating field research stations.
Founded in 1909, the Biological Station supports long-term research and education. It is where students and scientists from across the globe live and work as a community to learn from the place.
The Summer Lecture Series is a tradition at UMBS, where we explore scientific topics with distinguished guest speakers from across the country so our community can learn about our natural world.
The free, public talks are on Wednesdays from 7 to 8 p.m. in the spring and summer in Gates Lecture Hall at the University of Michigan Biological Station, located at 9133 Biological Rd. in Pellston, Michigan — about 20 miles south of the Mackinac Bridge.
