| Description: | From the ants in your back yard to apes in Africa’s forests, UC San Diego biologists are looking at genetics, behavior and how organisms interact with their environments. They will share their insights of how modern ecology provides a scientific basis for conservation in a series of public talks presented by UCSD’s Division of Biological Sciences called Nature Matters.
Professor David Woodruff will illustrate the ways conservation biologists can affect the future of life on a planet that is fast losing species and becoming dominated by simplified ecological communities and why he harbors hope that humans will rise to the challenges of addressing global environmental degradation and climate change. |
