SUMMARY:Rachel Germain (UBC): Theory in service of empirical research: examples from experiments on the ecology and evolution of species coexistence
DESCRIPTION:Science operates through a healthy feedback between theory and experiments. As an empiricist who uses theory for different purposes\, I will begin by describing some barriers to more fully integrating theory into empirical research in ecology and evolution (and how to overcome those barriers). I will then describe two applications of theory in my own work: 1. how empirical findings have inspired new questions to be addressed theoretically\, and\, 2. how ecological theories guide the questions I ask and the experiments I design (and some challenges to doing so). Within this overarching framework\, I will focus on several projects\, including: how spatial scale has counter intuitive effects on the evolution of life history strategies\, how species coexistence evolves on microevolutionary and macroevolutionary timescales\, and how coexistence theory can provide insights for speciation.
