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).

Stuart McDaniel graduate from Oberlin college in 1994. In work as an intern at the New York State Museum before joining Dr. Jon Shaw's lab at Duke. This is were we met! Stuart's first paper from his Duke time was published in evolution. It is the reference study on genetic differentiation of disjunct populations in the moss <I>Pyrrhobryum mnioides</I>. Stuart's interest changed and soon he focused on the model moss (one of many!) <I>Ceratodon purpureus </I>, the fire moss, abundant on the roof of the TLS lobby (you can see it when you come done the stairs). He demonstrated on-going long-distance gene flow within this cosmopolitan moss McDaniel & Shaw 2005; Molecular Ecology). His work on correlations between genetic markers and life-history traits (McDaniel 2008  Evolution) and linkage maps in <I>Ceratodon</I> made him an ideal candidate to join Dr. Quatrano's lab http://www.biology.wustl.edu/faculty/quatrano/ and work on another - no longer emerging, and indeed well-established - model system, <I>Physcomitrella patens</I>.

You do not need to be interested in bryophytes to want to talk to him. He has a great personality, and graduate students will certainly enjoy meeting him.  
  
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.
