The '''EEB Graduate Student Symposium''' is an all day event where graduate students present their research to other graduate students and faculty. Any EEB graduate student can present: BS/MS, masters, PhD, old and new students. New graduate students usually present research ideas or preliminary data, while those more ‘seasoned’ students present their most recent results, often in preparation for upcoming spring and summer meetings. <br />

== Information for discussion leaders ==<br />
'''Seminar Format:''' Registered students will lead discussions (perhaps more than once depending on the number of participants). <br />
<br />
The leader(s) will be responsible both for (1) selection of readings, (2) announcing the selection, (3) an introductory presentation, (4) driving discussion and (5) setting up and shutting down the projector. <br />
<br />
'''Readings:''' In consultation with the instructors, each leader should assign one primary paper for discussion and up to two other ancillary papers or resources. The readings should be posted to EEBedia at least 5 days in advance.<br />
<br />
'''Announcing the reading:''' The leader should add an entry to the schedule (see below) by editing this page. There are two ways to create a link to the paper:<br />
<br />
1. If the paper is available online through our library, it is sufficient to create a link to the DOI:<br />
<nowiki>:[http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/sysbio/syv041 Doyle et al. 2015. Syst. Biol. 64:824-837.]</nowiki><br />
In this case, you need not give all the citation details because the DOI should always be sufficient to find the paper. The colon (:) at the beginning of the link causes the link to be indented an placed on a separate line. Note that the DOI is in the form of a URL, starting with <code><nowiki>http://dx.doi.org/</nowiki></code>. Here is how the above link looks embedded in this EEBedia page:<br />
:[http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/sysbio/syv041 Doyle et al. 2015. Syst. Biol. 64:824-837.]<br />
<br />
2. If the paper is not available through the library, upload a PDF of the paper to [http://dropbox.uconn.edu the UConn dropbox], being sure to use the secure version so that it can be password protected. Copy the URL provided by dropbox, and create a link to it as follows (see the [[Dropbox Test]] page for other examples):<br />
<nowiki>:[https://dropbox.uconn.edu/dropbox?n=SystBiol-2015-Doyle-824-37.pdf&p=ELPFIc5NtO3c4V44Ls Doyle et al. 2015.]</nowiki><br />
In this case, you should provide a full citation to the paper for the benefit of those that visit the site long after the dropbox link has expired; however, the full details need not be part of the link text. Here is what this kind of link looks like embedded in this EEBedia page:<br />
<br />
:[https://dropbox.uconn.edu/dropbox?n=SystBiol-2015-Doyle-824-37.pdf&p=ELPFIc5NtO3c4V44Ls Doyle et al. 2015.] Full citation: Vinson P. Doyle, Randee E. Young, Gavin J. P. Naylor, and Jeremy M. Brown. 2015. Can We Identify Genes with Increased Phylogenetic Reliability? Systematic Biology 64 (5): 824-837. doi:10.1093/sysbio/syv041<br />
<br />
If you have ancillary papers, upload those to the dropbox individually and create separate links. <br />
<br />
Finally, send a note to the Plasticity seminar list letting everyone know that a paper is available. <br />
<br />
'''Introductory Presentation:''' Introduce your topic with a 10- to 15-minute presentation (Powerpoint or Keynote encouraged). Dedicate at least 2/3 of that time to placing the subject into the broader context of the subject areas/themes and at most 1/3 of it introducing paper, special definitions, taxa, methods, etc. Never exceed 15 minutes. (For example, for a reading on figs and fig-wasps, broaden the scope to plant-herbivore co-evolution.). Add images, include short movie clips, visit web resources, etc. to keep the presentation engaging. Although your presentation should not be a review of the primary reading, showing key figures from the readings may be helpful (and appreciated). You may also want to provide more detail and background about ancillary readings which likely have not been read by all. <br />
<br />
'''Discussion:''' You are responsible for driving the discussion. Assume everyone in attendance has read the main paper. There are excellent suggestions for generating class discussions on Chris Elphick's Current Topics in Conservation Biology course site. See section "Expectations" at https://elphick.lab.uconn.edu/eeb-5370-current-topics-in-conservation-biology/. Prepare several questions that you expect will spur discussion. Ideally, you would distribute questions a day or two before our class meeting.<br />
<br />
'''Projector:''' <br />
The Bamford room has joined the modern world--you should just need to plug in your computer or USB key to project.<br />

Finally, send a note to the Plasticity seminar list letting everyone know that a paper is available. <br />
<br />
'''Introductory Presentation:''' Introduce your topic with a 10- to 15-minute presentation (Powerpoint or Keynote encouraged). Dedicate at least 2/3 of that time to placing the subject into the broader context of the subject areas/themes and at most 1/3 of it introducing paper, special definitions, taxa, methods, etc. Never exceed 15 minutes. (For example, for a reading on figs and fig-wasps, broaden the scope to plant-herbivore co-evolution.). Add images, include short movie clips, visit web resources, etc. to keep the presentation engaging. Although your presentation should not be a review of the primary reading, showing key figures from the readings may be helpful (and appreciated). You may also want to provide more detail and background about ancillary readings which likely have not been read by all. <br />
<br />

== Information for discussion leaders ==<br />
'''Seminar Format:''' Registered students will lead discussions (perhaps more than once depending on the number of participants). <br />
<br />
The leader(s) will be responsible both for (1) selection of readings, (2) announcing the selection, (3) an introductory presentation, (4) driving discussion and (5) setting up and shutting down the projector. <br />
<br />
'''Readings:''' In consultation with the instructors, each leader should assign one primary paper for discussion and up to two other ancillary papers or resources. The readings should be posted to EEBedia at least 5 days in advance.<br />
<br />
'''Announcing the reading:''' The leader should add an entry to the schedule (see below) by editing this page. There are two ways to create a link to the paper:<br />
<br />
1. If the paper is available online through our library, it is sufficient to create a link to the DOI:<br />
<nowiki>:[http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/sysbio/syv041 Doyle et al. 2015. Syst. Biol. 64:824-837.]</nowiki><br />
In this case, you need not give all the citation details because the DOI should always be sufficient to find the paper. The colon (:) at the beginning of the link causes the link to be indented an placed on a separate line. Note that the DOI is in the form of a URL, starting with <code><nowiki>http://dx.doi.org/</nowiki></code>. Here is how the above link looks embedded in this EEBedia page:<br />

<br />
2. If the paper is not available through the library, upload a PDF of the paper to [http://dropbox.uconn.edu the UConn dropbox], being sure to use the secure version so that it can be password protected. Copy the URL provided by dropbox, and create a link to it as follows (see the [[Dropbox Test]] page for other examples):<br />

In this case, you should provide a full citation to the paper for the benefit of those that visit the site long after the dropbox link has expired; however, the full details need not be part of the link text. Here is what this kind of link looks like embedded in this EEBedia page:<br />

== Information for discussion leaders ==<br />
'''Seminar Format:''' Registered students will lead discussions (perhaps more than once depending on the number of participants). <br />
<br />
The leader(s) will be responsible both for (1) selection of readings, (2) announcing the selection, (3) an introductory presentation, (4) driving discussion and (5) setting up and shutting down the projector. <br />
<br />
'''Readings:''' In consultation with the instructors, each leader should assign one primary paper for discussion and up to two other ancillary papers or resources. The readings should be posted to EEBedia at least 5 days in advance.<br />
<br />
'''Announcing the reading:''' The leader should add an entry to the schedule (see below) by editing this page. There are two ways to create a link to the paper:<br />
<br />
1. If the paper is available online through our library, it is sufficient to create a link to the DOI:<br />
<nowiki>:[http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/sysbio/syv041 Doyle et al. 2015. Syst. Biol. 64:824-837.]</nowiki><br />
In this case, you need not give all the citation details because the DOI should always be sufficient to find the paper. The colon (:) at the beginning of the link causes the link to be indented an placed on a separate line. Note that the DOI is in the form of a URL, starting with <code><nowiki>http://dx.doi.org/</nowiki></code>. Here is how the above link looks embedded in this EEBedia page:<br />
:[http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/sysbio/syv041 Doyle et al. 2015. Syst. Biol. 64:824-837.]<br />
<br />
2. If the paper is not available through the library, upload a PDF of the paper to [http://dropbox.uconn.edu the UConn dropbox], being sure to use the secure version so that it can be password protected. Copy the URL provided by dropbox, and create a link to it as follows (see the [[Dropbox Test]] page for other examples):<br />
<nowiki>:[https://dropbox.uconn.edu/dropbox?n=SystBiol-2015-Doyle-824-37.pdf&p=ELPFIc5NtO3c4V44Ls Doyle et al. 2015.]</nowiki><br />
In this case, you should provide a full citation to the paper for the benefit of those that visit the site long after the dropbox link has expired; however, the full details need not be part of the link text. Here is what this kind of link looks like embedded in this EEBedia page:<br />
<br />
:[https://dropbox.uconn.edu/dropbox?n=SystBiol-2015-Doyle-824-37.pdf&p=ELPFIc5NtO3c4V44Ls Doyle et al. 2015.] Full citation: Vinson P. Doyle, Randee E. Young, Gavin J. P. Naylor, and Jeremy M. Brown. 2015. Can We Identify Genes with Increased Phylogenetic Reliability? Systematic Biology 64 (5): 824-837. doi:10.1093/sysbio/syv041<br />
<br />
If you have ancillary papers, upload those to the dropbox individually and create separate links. <br />
<br />
Finally, send a note to the Plasticity seminar list letting everyone know that a paper is available. <br />
<br />
'''Introductory Presentation:''' Introduce your topic with a 10- to 15-minute presentation (Powerpoint or Keynote encouraged). Dedicate at least 2/3 of that time to placing the subject into the broader context of the subject areas/themes and at most 1/3 of it introducing paper, special definitions, taxa, methods, etc. Never exceed 15 minutes. (For example, for a reading on figs and fig-wasps, broaden the scope to plant-herbivore co-evolution.). Add images, include short movie clips, visit web resources, etc. to keep the presentation engaging. Although your presentation should not be a review of the primary reading, showing key figures from the readings may be helpful (and appreciated). You may also want to provide more detail and background about ancillary readings which likely have not been read by all. <br />
<br />
'''Discussion:''' You are responsible for driving the discussion. Assume everyone in attendance has read the main paper. There are excellent suggestions for generating class discussions on Chris Elphick's Current Topics in Conservation Biology course site. See section "Expectations" at https://elphick.lab.uconn.edu/eeb-5370-current-topics-in-conservation-biology/. Prepare several questions that you expect will spur discussion. Ideally, you would distribute questions a day or two before our class meeting.<br />
<br />
'''Projector:''' <br />
The Bamford room has joined the modern world--you should just need to plug in your computer or USB key to project.<br />

'''Introductory Presentation:''' Introduce your topic with a 10- to 15-minute presentation (Powerpoint or Keynote encouraged). Dedicate at least 2/3 of that time to placing the subject into the broader context of the subject areas/themes and at most 1/3 of it introducing paper, special definitions, taxa, methods, etc. Never exceed 15 minutes. (For example, for a reading on figs and fig-wasps, broaden the scope to plant-herbivore co-evolution.). Add images, include short movie clips, visit web resources, etc. to keep the presentation engaging. Although your presentation should not be a review of the primary reading, showing key figures from the readings may be helpful (and appreciated). You may also want to provide more detail and background about ancillary readings which likely have not been read by all. <br />
<br />
'''Discussion:''' You are responsible for driving the discussion. Assume everyone in attendance has read the main paper. There are excellent suggestions for generating class discussions on Chris Elphick's Current Topics in Conservation Biology course site. See section "Expectations" at https://elphick.lab.uconn.edu/eeb-5370-current-topics-in-conservation-biology/. Prepare several questions that you expect will spur discussion. Ideally, you would distribute questions a day or two before our class meeting.<br />

== Information for discussion leaders ==<br />
'''Seminar Format:''' Registered students will lead discussions (perhaps more than once depending on the number of participants). <br />
<br />
The leader(s) will be responsible both for (1) selection of readings, (2) announcing the selection, (3) an introductory presentation, (4) driving discussion and (5) setting up and shutting down the projector. <br />
<br />
'''Readings:''' In consultation with the instructors, each leader should assign one primary paper for discussion and up to two other ancillary papers or resources. The readings should be posted to EEBedia at least 5 days in advance.<br />
<br />
'''Announcing the reading:''' The leader should add an entry to the schedule (see below) by editing this page. There are two ways to create a link to the paper:<br />
<br />
1. If the paper is available online through our library, it is sufficient to create a link to the DOI:<br />
<nowiki>:[http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/sysbio/syv041 Doyle et al. 2015. Syst. Biol. 64:824-837.]</nowiki><br />
In this case, you need not give all the citation details because the DOI should always be sufficient to find the paper. The colon (:) at the beginning of the link causes the link to be indented an placed on a separate line. Note that the DOI is in the form of a URL, starting with <code><nowiki>http://dx.doi.org/</nowiki></code>. Here is how the above link looks embedded in this EEBedia page:<br />
:[http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/sysbio/syv041 Doyle et al. 2015. Syst. Biol. 64:824-837.]<br />
<br />
2. If the paper is not available through the library, upload a PDF of the paper to [http://dropbox.uconn.edu the UConn dropbox], being sure to use the secure version so that it can be password protected. Copy the URL provided by dropbox, and create a link to it as follows (see the [[Dropbox Test]] page for other examples):<br />
<nowiki>:[https://dropbox.uconn.edu/dropbox?n=SystBiol-2015-Doyle-824-37.pdf&p=ELPFIc5NtO3c4V44Ls Doyle et al. 2015.]</nowiki><br />
In this case, you should provide a full citation to the paper for the benefit of those that visit the site long after the dropbox link has expired; however, the full details need not be part of the link text. Here is what this kind of link looks like embedded in this EEBedia page:<br />
<br />
:[https://dropbox.uconn.edu/dropbox?n=SystBiol-2015-Doyle-824-37.pdf&p=ELPFIc5NtO3c4V44Ls Doyle et al. 2015.] Full citation: Vinson P. Doyle, Randee E. Young, Gavin J. P. Naylor, and Jeremy M. Brown. 2015. Can We Identify Genes with Increased Phylogenetic Reliability? Systematic Biology 64 (5): 824-837. doi:10.1093/sysbio/syv041<br />
<br />
If you have ancillary papers, upload those to the dropbox individually and create separate links. <br />
<br />
Finally, send a note to the Plasticity seminar list letting everyone know that a paper is available. <br />
<br />
'''Introductory Presentation:''' Introduce your topic with a 10- to 15-minute presentation (Powerpoint or Keynote encouraged). Dedicate at least 2/3 of that time to placing the subject into the broader context of the subject areas/themes and at most 1/3 of it introducing paper, special definitions, taxa, methods, etc. Never exceed 15 minutes. (For example, for a reading on figs and fig-wasps, broaden the scope to plant-herbivore co-evolution.).

The '''EEB Graduate Student Symposium''' is an all day event where graduate students present their research to other graduate students and faculty. Any EEB graduate student can present: BS/MS, masters, PhD, old and new students. New graduate students usually present research ideas or preliminary data, while those more ‘seasoned’ students present their most recent results, often in preparation for upcoming spring and summer meetings. <br />

'''Seminar Title: ''Life in the trees: how vertical forest structure influences biogeography'' <br><br />
'''Time and Place:''' 4:00 PM, Thursday, October 5th, 2017, in BPB 131 <br><br />

'''Abstract:'''<br />
Biodiversity is spatially organized by climatic gradients across elevation and latitude. But do other gradients exist that might drive biogeographical patterns? Using data from tropical rainforests of SE Asia, Madagascar and Australia, I will show that rainforests’ vertical strata provide climatic gradients much steeper than those offered by elevation and latitude. Biodiversity of arboreal species organizes along this gradient and this organization changes with elevation and affects current biogeographic patterns through its interaction with historical environmental stability since the Last Glacial Maximum (c. 20,000 years ago). Then using outputs from a global analysis on amphibian traits, I explain how canopy science offers 1) new insights for understanding patterns of species richness and abundance globally and 2) a novel biogeographic dimension for predicting organismal vulnerability to climate change. <br />
<br />
<br />
'''Biosketch:'''<br />
Brett Scheffers runs an international research program at the University of Florida. As an assistant professor in the Department of Wildlife Ecology and Conservation, Brett’s research focuses on how human disturbances such as habitat loss, urbanization and climate change impact animals living within forested and wetland ecosystems in the USA, Canada, Central and South America, Madagascar, SE Asia and Australia. Here, his work includes a diversity of animals such as birds, frogs, lizards, ants, and butterflies. Brett has been published in leading academic journals such as Science, Proceedings of the Royal Society, and Trends in Ecology and Evolution and his work has been covered by dozens of news outlets such as The Economist, Huffington Post, and Bloomberg News. He is an advisory member of the IUCN Climate Change Specialist group, which provides guidelines for assessing species vulnerability to climate change and served as an organizing committee member for “Species on the Move”, an international conference focused on the redistribution of species as a result of climate change. His outreach efforts include popular writing in online news outlets such as The Conversation, creating short science documentaries and communicating climate and conservation science to public audiences. <br />
