<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">Mario's research addresses questions related to the responses of microbial populations, communities, and ecosystems to changes in the resource environment. Specifically, he asks questions related to how the
supply and diversity of resources alter the composition and function of communities, and how traits and species interactions link structure and function. To answer these questions, he uses a mixture of field, lab, bioinformatics, and theoretical approaches.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">Liana's research seek to 1) explore fundamental biological questions regarding how temporal and spatial environmental variation shapes the expression of genetic variation and determines plant and bacterial
fitness and 2) apply this knowledge to answer questions relevant to both natural and agricultural systems. Her work bridges traditional disciplinary lines by integrating predictive models of traits and evolution, classic field and laboratory experimental techniques,
and cutting-edge computational, statistical, and genomic tools. <a href="https://lianaburghardt.wordpress.com/" target="_blank">https://lianaburghardt.wordpress.com/</a><o:p></o:p></span></p>
