Stefano Allesina recently accepted a tenure-track position at the University of Chicago’s Ecology & Evolution and Computation Institute.
This article in Nature News covers a recent talk Allesina gave at the Ecological Society of America on how to use Google to identify important species in ecosystems.
He was awarded a grant from the National Science Foundation on “The Spider and the Web: Inference in Ecological Networks.”
Christian Landry is now an associate professor in the Department of Biology at Université Laval in Québec, Canada.
