conservation biology framework. My emphasis is not only
on discovery of impacts, but also development of
appropriate management techniques, including biological
control using insect herbivores.
Joshua Cerra has practiced in environmental design and
environmental systems analysis for over 20 years
combined. His professional and academic work
addresses relationships between urban ecosystems and
site development processes across a range of habitat and
land use types. He has project experience and research

Dr. Hairston studies how organisms (especially
freshwater plankton) respond ecologically and
evolutionarily to environmental change (both humancaused and natural changes). Algae and small animals
with very short generation times can evolve quickly
changing their sensitivity to conditions where they live,
and also altering the environment of other species living
in the same food web. Understanding this ecoevolutionary process is important for understanding the
natural world.
