Seminars in Ecology and
Evolutionary Biology are a weekly series
of presentations and workshops that are hosted by members of the Ecology and Evolutionary
Biology Section in the Division of Biology at Kansas State University.
Seminars in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology are informal and we have
traditionally had a diverse mix of presentations from local or visiting
speakers, including graduate students, postdocs and
new faculty. The seminar format is typically a 40 to 50 minute
presentation followed by a 10 to 20 minute question period. We
encourage all interested persons to attend the seminars - folks from other
departments, Konza docents, and the public are
welcome to join us. For the 2011-2012 academic year, the seminar
coordinators are Ted
Morgan and Jesse
Nippert in the Fall, and Mark Ungerer and Keith Gido in the Spring. Please send us your suggestions
for speakers!
