<p>Eating or being eaten, competing for resources – these are certainly the best-known interactions among organisms coexisting in an ecosystem, but they are by no means the only ones. In fact, different species live together and interact in complex ways. But how do different species evolve or coevolve in a community as temperatures rise due to climate change? Current research focuses primarily on how individual species react to climate change. However, as species interact with each other in the ecosystem, the evolutionary responses to climate change are difficult to predict from studying each species in isolation. For example, a plant may grow faster due to higher temperatures, but it may also suffer greater damage if the number of herbivores also increases, ultimately resulting in a growth reduction. Professor Shuqing Xu from Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz (JGU) aims to investigate these connections – with an ERC Consolidator Grant worth EUR 2 million fo
Accomplished scholars and leaders will join in celebrating the achievements of thousands of Spartan graduates during Michigan State University’s fall semester commencement ceremonies Dec. 15 and 16.
A UNC-Charlotte professor recently won a $2.8 million grant from the National Science Foundation to develop new and diverse soybean varieties that can resist the world’s most damaging soybean pest, a tiny roundworm called the soybean cyst nematode. And soybeans are a vital part of N .C.'s agricultural economy.
Soybeans are sometimes called magic beans due to their wide utility. They are used as livestock feed, in human foods ranging from tofu to salad oil, in crayons that are non-toxic and safer for children, in biodiesel fuel, in household cleaners and in countless other products.
