Interaction of environment and evolution to be studied

Florida State University College of Arts and Sciences Dean Joseph Travis, a distinguished professor of biological science and population biology expert, is one of a dozen researchers who will benefit from a grant allowing them to study an important aspect of evolution.

“This award will enable experimental research on evolution in nature on an unprecedented scale to help answer a complex and critical question: Does an evolving animal affect its ecosystem in real time; that is, does the system change right along with the animal,” Travis said in a statement.
