Their communities and populations vary in space and time in response to ecological and evolutionary forces, much like macro-scale organisms. We can identify clear hierarchies in the effects of these forces. In this seminar I will present data collected over the past ten years at the North Temperate Lakes Microbial Observatory and Long Term Ecological Research site to illustrate the power of long-term time series for the inference of both ecological and evolutionary processes acting on the arguably most important components of lake ecosystems: microbes.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EThe School of Biology welcomes University of Wisconsin-Madison Associate Professor Trina McMahon on \u0026quot;Variation in Freshwater Bacterial Communities and Populations: Evolution and Ecology.\u0026quot;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n","format":"limited_html"}],"field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"Variation in Freshwater Bacterial Communities and Populations: Evolution and Ecology"}],"uid":"27299","created_gmt":"2012-02-29 13:48:52","changed_gmt":"2016-11-22 20:16:48","author":"Michael Hagearty","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2012-03-08T15:00:00-05:00","event_time_end":"2012-03-08T16:00:00-05:00","event_time_end_last":"2012-03-08T16:00:00-05:00","gmt_time_start":"2012-03-08 20:00:00","gmt_time_end":"2012-03-08 21:00:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2012-03-08 21:00:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"related_links":[{"url":"http:\/\/homepages.cae.wisc.edu\/~tmcmahon\/index.shtml","title":"McMahon Lab"}],"groups":[{"id":"1316","name":"Green Buzz"}],"categories":[],"keywords":[{"id":"277","name":"Biology"},{"id":"4320","name":"ecology"},{"id":"1922","name":"environmental engineering"},{"id":"479","name":"Green Buzz"},{"id":"7572","name":"microbes"}],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[{"id":"1795","name":"Seminar\/Lecture\/Colloquium"}],"invited_audience":[],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003E\u003Ca href=\u0022mailto:verene.lancaster@biology.gatech.edu\u0022\u003EVerene Lancaster\u003C\/a\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\nSchool of Biology\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\n404-894-8435\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n","format":"limited_html"}],"email":[],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}}}
