GonzálezLAB
for an integrative ecology
I’m excited to announce that our group just received a prestigious NSF CAREER award! This $925,000 five-year project will integrate paleo and neoecological inference with isotope geochemistry to study the long-term dynamics of ancient and modern arthropod communities across changes in precipitation, the major driver structuring desert systems. We will be conducting field work in the Atacama Desert (Chile), taking advantage of a unique and underused paleobiological archive, rodent middens.
We have been awarded a Rutgers Research Council Grant and a Rutgers Global Change grants. We will be using data synthesis approaches and experiments to study the interactive effects of warming and nutrients on ecological processes.
We have been funded by The German Centre for Integrative Biodiversity Research (iDiv) for a sDiv working group aimed to exploring biogeographic and macroevolutionary patterns in organismal stoichiometric diversity. Hooray for some really exciting and neat upcoming science! Looking forward to start working with a fantastic group of researchers in Leipzig at the end of this year!
We have been awarded NSF funding through DEB Ecosystem Science to study “The Effects of N and P deposition on stoichiometry, structure, and function of whole-aquatic ecosystems (Bromeliaceae and Sarraceniaceae)”
