Join us for a virtual Energy & Environment Forum with Dr. Megan Donahue from the University of Manoa in Hawaii. Dr. Donahue is a marine community ecologist, broadly interested in spatial dynamics and connecting spatial theory with data. 

Her research focuses on three areas critical to understanding the effects of spatial heterogeneity in ecological systems: (i) scaling community dynamics from local interactions to regional dynamics by incorporating environmental heterogeneity, (ii) modeling behavioral responses to heterogeneous environments (e.g., habitat selection), and (iii) investigating the consequences of spatial behavior on population dynamics. Considering the challenges of demonstrating spatial mechanisms of population dynamics, I use a diversity of approaches, including statistical and theoretical methods, laboratory and field based experiments, and manipulative and observational studies.

Join us virtually over zoom at tiny.utk.edu/Donahue.
