60812	Conference	JO	4:00PM -4:50PM	T	ARR Morrill Hall	O'Dwyer, J	Part of Term: 1 Date Range: 01/20/15-05/06/15 Section Info: 1 hour. Graduate Seminar in Ecology. Topic: Theoretical Ecology and Models. This seminar will focus on the interplay between theoretical concepts and empirical research throughout the history of ecology. We will discuss foundational literature in theoretical ecology, with a focus on classic theoretical and conceptual models that changed the way we view and understand ecological systems. Readings, selected with student input, will be based around classic papers. Students will identify recent papers that build on, apply, or refute these classic ideas, either through developing new theoretical analyses or by connecting theory with new data, and identify how each paper has informed contemporary studies in ecology. Meets in 515 Morrill Hall.

This seminar will focus on the history, applications, and future of both microbial metagenomics and locus-targeted high-throughput sequencing for microbial community ecology. Students will read 1-2 paper per week and the seminar will be largely discussion based. Readings will be selected from both classic literature and based on student input and interest. Emphasis will be placed on the adaptation and utilization of new technologies in microbial ecology. MEETS IN 284 MORRILL HALL.
