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.
