Dagmar Frisch Ph.D., 2000, Freie Universität Berlin, Germany My current research with Larry Weider focuses on factors influencing the success of biological invasions, in particular microevolutionary processes vs. broad physiological tolerance to the environment. Two invasive zooplankton organisms are used as model species which have each invaded new continents across large geographical scales: Daphnia lumholtzi (Cladocera, Crustacea) in North America, and Acartia tonsa (Copepoda, Crustacea) in Europe. I am also involved in a project (with Andy Green at the Doñana Biological Station in Sevilla, Spain) on the dispersal biology of zooplankton and consequences of propagule dispersal on species and genetic diversity in temporary ponds. |
