Speaker: Brett Scheffers (https://www.schefferslab.com/) Abstract: Within forest ecosystems, animal communities vertically organize and partition, creating intricate layers of species interactions. The gradients in climate, habitat, and resources created by the vertical structure of vegetation offer an excellent model system for understanding the interplay between abiotic and biotic factors in shaping community composition. These local micro-gradients…
