Events
Dr. Felipe Zapata, Dept. Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, UCLA
Seminar: Plant adaptation and evolution across temporal and spatial scales.
Host: William Crepet
Dr. Zapata’s research addresses questions about the evolutionary processes that generate biological diversity at multiple phylogenetic, spatial, temporal, and phenotypic scales. This includes genomics, phenomics and the evolution of species and speciation processes; micro- and macro-evolutionary patterns and processes from populations to clades; and the genomic basis of adaptations and evolution of functional phenotypes.

Fulbright at Cornell is administered by the Mario Einaudi Center for International Studies. The Einaudi Center's Fulbright advisor works with you to create and submit a competitive application for the Fulbright U.S. Student Program or the Fulbright-Hays Doctoral Dissertation Research Abroad program.
