''' Abstract'''

Julie has a diverse set of interests, focused on the homogenization of biotic communities, invasion ecology and conservation in action.  She recently published an introductory book on Invasion Ecology [http://www.rci.rutgers.edu/~jlockwoo/invecolbook.shtml link here].  She has published on a range of topics in both ecology and evolutionary biology (e.g., she has participated in NCEAS groups on sampling curves, phylogeny and conservation, exotic species), and has worked on various different types of organisms (plants, fish, birds) in various different places (Hawaii, Florida, California, New Jersey).
−
Historical biogeography uses a phylogenetic approach to help understand
+
−
biogeographic patterns.  In recent decades, historical biogeography has
+
−
focused mostly on using phylogenies of organisms to reconstruct
+
−
phylogenies of geographic areas.  In this talk, I will argue that
+
−
historical biogeography has a great deal to offer the fields of ecology
+
−
and evolution beyond trees for geographic regions.  At the same time,
+
−
understanding biogeographic patterns also requires consideration of
+
−
ecological and evolutionary processes. I will try to illustrate the
+
−
potential benefits of integrating these disciplines, by focusing on three
+
−
major topics in evolution and ecology where the importance of historical
+
−
biogeography may not always be widely appreciated: speciation, patterns of
+
−
species richness, and the repeated evolution of morphological traits.  Or,
+
−
to put it in SarahPalinSpeak: the talk is all about niche conservatism,
+
−
reducing taxes, diversity gradients, speciation, the trade sector,
+
−
diversification rates, geographic isolation, and, um, health care reform.
+
−
All of those things under the umbrella of historical biogeography and job
+
−
creation.
+
  
 +
She is also well known for her long term work on the population biology and behavior of the Federally endangered Cape Sable seaside sparrow in the Florida Everglades.  The fate of this species is central to Everglades restoration, which is probably the largest and most costly restoration effort anywhere in the world.  Consequently her research has broad political and economic implications in addition to its important ecological contributions.

Seminar Speaker: Julie Lockwood [link]
Institution: Department of Ecology, Evolution and Natural Resources, Rutgers University
EEB Seminar Title: Propagule madness: definitions and null hypotheses in invasion ecology
NRME Seminar Title: In it for the long haul: the conservation of the Cape Sable seaside sparrow in the Everglades, Florida
Faculty or Student Contact: Chris Elphick


Julie has a diverse set of interests, focused on the homogenization of biotic communities, invasion ecology and conservation in action. She recently published an introductory book on Invasion Ecology link here. She has published on a range of topics in both ecology and evolutionary biology (e.g., she has participated in NCEAS groups on sampling curves, phylogeny and conservation, exotic species), and has worked on various different types of organisms (plants, fish, birds) in various different places (Hawaii, Florida, California, New Jersey).

She is also well known for her long term work on the population biology and behavior of the Federally endangered Cape Sable seaside sparrow in the Florida Everglades. The fate of this species is central to Everglades restoration, which is probably the largest and most costly restoration effort anywhere in the world. Consequently her research has broad political and economic implications in addition to its important ecological contributions.

While at UConn she will be giving two talks. On Thurs at 4 she will describe her work on invasive species in the EEB seminar series, and on Friday at 2 she will talk about her Everglades research in the NRME seminar series. Please sign up to meet with her below. If you do not have access to EEBedia pages, or would like to join Julie for one of the meals listed, please contact Chris Elphick.
