  "Phenotypic plasticity and
host plants: linking ecology, development and
speciation in Nemoria caterpillars"

Thursday, April 1

Noon

Olin Auditorium

Dr. Greene received his Ph.D. from Princeton University and iscurrently the Director of Organismal Biology and Ecology, Division of Biological Sciences at The University of Montana.

His research interests span the fields of evolutionary biology, behavior, ecology, and conservation biology. His recent work has focused on the behavioral ecology of plumage and song in Lazuli Buntings (Passerina amoena) and the evolution of phenotypic plasticity in a geometrid caterpillar (Nemoria arizonaria).
