[Plantsci] Herbarium Lunch - Thursday, April 25

[Gabriel Rodriguez]

Please join us for this week's 
UA Herbarium Lunch!

This week's presentation will be:
 
How Spatial and Temporal Variation Affect Invasion by Sahara Mustard
Presented by: 
Max Li
 
Max is a Ph.D candidate in the Dept. of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology who

studies how biodiversity is maintained under stable coexistence of 
competing species and its implication on biological invasions. 

The constant change of our environments over time and space has 
tremendous effect on the possibility of stable coexistence between 
competing species. Understanding such fluctuation dependent coexistence 
is vital for predicting the possibility of biological invasion and the 
impact of invasive species on native diversity. Using the invasion of 
Sahara mustard (Brassica tournefortii) as an example, it is illustrated how 
environmental variation across a large range of spatial scales (less 
than a meter to 1000 km) have shaped the invasibility of this non-native 
winter annual species and its impact on native species.
