EEB Tuesday Seminar Series - Understanding the mechanisms by which corals maintain production in the Anthropocene
Nepsis García, PhD Student, EEB
This event is part of our ongoing Tuesday Seminar Series.
About this seminar: Fitness measures an organism's ability to survive, grow, and reproduce and is shaped by physiological processes and environmental conditions. While the effects of individual environmental changes are often studied in isolation, understanding real-world, multi-stressor interactions remains challenging due to logistical and analytical constraints. My dissertation will use comprehensive physiological analyses to explore how corals maintain production under multiple environmental stressors. Specifically, I will combine approaches from stoichiometry theory, trophic ecology, and population genetics to quantify the non-additive effects of stressor interactions on coral fitness in situ. My research uses a highly integrative and, for this reason, novel approach to examine coral reef ecosystem production.
