New NAU study of vertebrate genomes, phenomes, populations to predict response to climate change

Posted by Heather Tate on January 7, 2018

Loren Buck showing sample in his lab.Professor Loren Buck, environmental physiologist and associate director of Northern Arizona University’s Center for Bioengineering Innovation (CBI), is leading a new project that has the potential to change nothing less than the way scientists understand life on earth.

Titled “Predicting vertebrate responses to a changing climate: modeling genomes to phenomes to populations (G2P2PoP),” the project is designed to tackle one… Read more

NAU researcher uses native species to restore the Colorado Plateau

Posted by ssc242 on August 17, 2017

After a wildfire or other event that destroys large areas of trees and other vegetation, land managers typically try to restore the land by planting seeds available through warehouses operated by the U.S. Department of the Interior’s Bureau of Land Management (BLM). The warehouses store millions of pounds of seeds chosen based on what the BLM predicts will be needed each year.

NAU Fulbright Visiting Scholar continues search for last remaining native insect species on Easter Island

Posted by ssc242 on October 21, 2016

Ecologist Jut Wynne, assistant research professor in Northern Arizona University’s Department of Biological Sciences and Merriam-Powell Center for Environmental Research, first studied cave insects on Rapa Nui (Easter Island), Chile, from 2008 through 2011. Along with fellow researchers, he identified eight species new to science and endemic—known to occur on Rapa Nui and nowhere else—to the southeastern Pacific island, as well as two… Read more
