Gradual and abrupt environmental change: connecting physiology, evolution and community composition (Gradual_Change)

Start date: Oct 1, 2016, End date: Sep 30, 2021,

A major goal in ecology is to predict how environmental changes, including drivers of global change, affect communities and ecosystem functioning, with society demanding answers to these pressing questions. A key limitation of virtually all experimental approaches addressing such questions is that treatments are delivered abruptly, while many changes occurring in nature are gradual. Here I propose ...

Start date: Apr 1, 2016, End date: Mar 31, 2021,

Herpesviruses cause serious diseases in humans and animals. After initial lytic infection, herpesviruses establish a quiescent (latent) infection, which allows their persistence in the host for life. We and others recently identified a novel mechanism that allows maintenance of the genome of certain herpesviruses during latency, by integrating their complete genetic material into host telomeres.
