The Division of Environmental Biology (DEB) of
the Biological Sciences Directorate supports fundamental research on
populations, species, communities and ecosystems. Scientific emphases
range across many evolutionary and ecological patterns and processes at
all spatial and temporal scales.
In Joshua King’s lab, researchers study
natural history, community assembly and species invasions at multiple
scales in natural and human-altered landscapes. The overarching themes
of the research program are to understand how insects impact ecosystem
functions and the mechanisms that drive species invasions associated
with land-use changes.
Walter R. Tschinkel is the Robert O. Lawton
Distinguished Research Professor of Biological Science at Florida State
University. He is one of the leading entomologists and myrmecologists (a
branch of entomology that focuses on ants) studying the behavior of
ants and the structure of their colonies.
A recent study found that genes involved in
creating different sexes, life stages and castes of fire ants and
honeybees evolved more rapidly than genes not involved in these
processes.
