The Shefferson Lab is the Plant/Fungal Evolutionary
Ecology Lab at the Odum School of Ecology,
University of Georgia.
CURRENT PROJECTS:
Eco-evolutionary dynamics
Evolution can have dramatic consequences on
ecology and environment, but these impacts have
only recently come under study. We are assessing
how contemporary evolution in long-lived plants
impacts ecological processes.
Macroevolution of broad interactions
We are currently testing phylogenetic aspects of the
evolution of interactions, using the orchid mycorrhiza
as a case study.
Microevolution of symbioses in long-lived species
We are using intensive in situ experimentaion to test
the impacts of symbioses on the long-term
demography of interacting organisms, using rare
forest orchids as the study system.
All of our projects involve post-docs, graduate
students, and undergraduate students. If interested
in getting involved, drop us a line!
We are currently accepting students and post-docs
interested in the following fields:
1. General evolutionary ecology
2. Plant/fungal evolutionary ecology
3. Phylogenetic applications in ecology
4. Demography
5. Life history evolution
6. Evolution of interactions
7. Soil microbial ecology
