“I am awed by biodiversity. What processes allow many species to live together in the same locality? How are collections of diverse species assembled and how do they function”- Sharon Strauss, PhD. Sharon Strauss is an evolutionary ecologist and is Distinguished Professor Emerita of Evolution and Ecology at the University of California, Davis. She is a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, and the National Academy of Sciences. In her talk, Sharon will dissect how the evolutionary relationships between species affect the likelihood of their coexistence in local communities.
