Moran Talks Global Change Modeling at Fisk

Dr. Emily Moran, NIMBioS postdoctoral fellow (center-right, tan jacket), traveled to Nashville last week to give a seminar on modeling global change at NIMBioS partner Fisk University. Moran presented “Hierarchical Bayesian Modeling and Ecology: two global-change case studies” to Fisk faculty and students. Moran studies species’ responses to rapid environmental change, which may include both ecological processes (changes in abundance, shifts in geographic range) and evolutionary processes (local adaptation).
