Auburn evolutionary ecologist explores the impact of environmental changes on species with $1.6 million NSF award

Ronald Bassar, an assistant professor in the Department of Biological Sciences, is the recipient of a $1,616,701 award from the National Science Foundation, Division of Environmental Biology. "The evolution of fluctuation-dependent species coexistence" examines the role our changing environment plays using two species of fish, Trinidadian guppies and Hart’s Killifish. Using mathematical theory, Bassar explores math models, stream and system to analyze their coexistence.
