报告人简介： J. Evan Ward is experimental biologist whose research interests are directed toward an understanding of the dynamic interactions between marine animals and their environment. In particular, his work focuses on the endogenous and exogenous factors that mediate the behavior and physiology of benthic, particle-feeding invertebrates. He takes an integrative approach in his research program by studying processes ranging from the organism to ecosystem level. Much of his research focuses on commercially important species, or shellfish (e.g., clams, oysters, mussels, scallops). These animals exert great control over the particle supply and distribution in many coastal ecosystems, and can influence the biology and ecology of other organisms. Additionally, they provide vital ecosystem services, and are an important link between the oceans and human health. Because suspension feeders play such a key role in near-shore ecosystems, it is important to understand how they obtain and process food and non-food particles, what factors control feeding processes, and the effects of environmental perturbations on their overall health. |
