DESCRIPTION:!! NEW TALK !! Open to the public !! \n\nOur research investig
 ates how social evolution generates biodiversity.\n\nUnderstanding how evo
 lution works has arguably never before been more exciting nor more importa
 nt.\n\nIt is exciting because there is disagreement among evolutionary bio
 logists over which processes contribute more to evolutionary change\, and 
 thus the extent to which traditional evolutionary theory requires revision
 .\n\nIt is important because evolutionary biology can play a key role in a
 ddressing conservation problems. It can potentially predict which species 
 will flexibly adapt in a changing world\, for example\, as well as how rap
 idly evolutionary change can arise and whether the loss of a single specie
 s can precipitate a collapse in local biodiversity.\n\nOur novel approach 
 to each of these problems is to investigate how social interactions within
  families generate biodiversity.Our experiments focus particularly on bird
  and insect species.
