Dr Sinead Collins from the University of Edinburgh is the next presenter in the School of Biological Sciences Friday Seminar Series.
Complex environments may be those that change at different rates (glacial-interglacial cycles vs the current rate of global change), that involve many concurrent changes (changes in temperature and light levels and carbon levels), or that involve changes in competition and adaptation at the same time (changes in the species composition of communities on the same timescale as the evolution of a given species). Many aspects of this work are used, either in models or in collaborative experiments using marine algae, to understand better how phytoplankton populations may respond to global change.
The Collins lab is part of a group of experimentalists who use microbial evolution to understand apoptosis, sex, cooperation, virulence, and the responses of microbes to climate change
