Biology Department graduate students will be presenting their research at Evolution 2014 in Raleigh, the joint annual meeting of the Society for the Study of Evolution (SSE), the Society of Systematic Biologists (SSB), and the American Society of Naturalists (ASN)

Go see their awesome work!

Saturday, 6/21 7-9pm poster session, Kate Augustine, “Biogeography of butterfly oviposition preference and larval performance on a native and invasive host plant”

Sunday, 6/22 3:30pm, Kayla Peck, “Host range expansion of MERS-Coronavirus and the permissivity of receptor orthologs” (Room 301A)
