"Theoretical Principles of Virus-microbe Dynamics," will be presented by Joshua Weitz of the Georgia Institute of Technology at 4 p.m., Oct. 14 in E103 Beadle Center. The seminar is free and open to the public.
Viruses are ubiquitous in the environment and can function like microbial predators, regulating the density and diversity of microbes present in a community. However, efforts to understand the dynamics of complex virus-microbe communities remain in their infancy.
In this talk, Weitz will present examples of the interplay between evolutionary and ecological dynamics arising due to virus-microbe interactions - spanning foundational theory, laboratory experiments, and applications to environmental interactions.
The Beadle Center is located at 1901 Vine Street. The complete schedule of seminars may be found at http://biotech.unl.edu/.
