The VT Center for the Mathematics of Biosystems (VT-CMB) is hosting a Focus Session on "Ecology":

📅 Second Focus Session: “Ecology”
🕑 Friday, March 27 |  2-5 PM
📍  North End Center, Room 2420

This focus session brings together theoretical and empirical researchers interested in how resource availability, environmental heterogeneity, and landscape structure shape ecological communities across scales. We aim to explore the mechanistic foundations linking resource dynamics to community stability and structure. Short presentations will be followed by structured discussion and a reception designed to foster new collaborations across departments and colleges.  The detailed schedule can be found at program.
