DESCRIPTION:Trait-based eco-evolutionary theory\n\nChris Klausmeier\, Michi
 gan State University\n	Tuesday November 23\, 12-1pm\n	Zoom Link: https://mcg
 ill.zoom.us/j/85428056343\n\nAbstract: Trait-based approaches are increasi
 ngly seen as a way to reduce the complexity of ecological communities and 
 to incorporate functional diversity in ecosystem models. In this talk I wi
 ll present our recent work developing and applying trait-based theory. Fir
 st\, I will give an overview of trait-based approaches to modeling ecologi
 cal and eco-evolutionary dynamics and how they can enhance our understandi
 ng of community structure and ecosystem functioning. Then I will give exam
 ples of how they can be applied to complex spatially and temporally varyin
 g systems\, including seasonally and directionally changing environments. 
 Finally\, I will describe recent theory on how local selection and immigra
 tion from the regional species pool interact to determine distribution of 
 commonness and rarity in ecological communities and an experimental test.
