Daniel Pavuk, PhD

Professor of Biological Sciences

Bowling Green State University

Biodiversity, Cicadas, Ecology, Entomology, Insects, Mosquito

Dr. Daniel Pavuk's is a teaching professor of Biological Sciences at Bowling Green State University. His research interests are in insect biodiversity, parasitoid and predatory arthropod communities, conservation biological control, and ecology of insect vectors of pathogens. The ecology of insect parasitoids and predatory arthropods, and how these organisms structure phytophagous insect communities, are particularly interesting to Dr. Pavuk. His research emphasis has been primarily in agricultural ecosystems, including studies of population and community ecology of insects within those systems. Dr. Pavuk holds a Ph.D. from The Ohio State University.

Biodiversity, energy metabolism, Salton Sea

Tim Bradley's laboratory is engaged in studies of physiological ecology, the evolution of physiological processes, the physiology of respiration and energy metabolism, and conservation biology at salt lakes.

Anna V. Smith writes and edits from Boulder, Colorado. She is currently a Ted Scripps Fellow at the Center for Environmental Journalism at CU Boulder, on sabbatical from her position at High Country News as the assistant editor for HCN鈥檚 Indigenous affairs desk. Her work has appeared in outlets such as the New York Times, Audubon, Undark, Slate and Mother Jones.

Anna has spoken at multiple journalism conferences and university classes and is a member of the Society of Environmental Journalists, Native American Journalists Association, and Investigative Reporters and Editors. She is an alum of the University of Oregon, with concurrent degrees in journalism and environmental studies.

Anna is available as a sensitivity reader, freelance writer and editor, panelist and guest lecturer.

Biodiversity, Bioinformatics, Computational Biology, Genomes, Molecular Evolution, Mutation, Proteins, Viral Evolution, Viruses

 explores molecular diversity and how molecular structure determines biological function in plants, animals, fungi, and microbes of significance to agriculture. He studies the origin, structure, and evolution of genomes, proteomes, RNomes, and functionomes for applications including bioengineering, biomedicine, and systems biology.

More information: 
Caetano-Anollés' atelier of evolutionary bioinformatics and plant bioinformation focuses on creative ways to mine, visualize and integrate data from structural and functional genomic research. His group is particularly interested in the evolution of macromolecular structure and networks in biology, the reconstruction of evolutionary history, the incorporation of evolutionary considerations in genomic research, the study of levels and patterns of genome-wide mutation, and processes that are linked to co-evolutionary phenomena (such as plant pathogenesis and symbiosis). In particular, his research has been productive in two specific areas, the evolution of the structure of macromolecules and the molecular basis of biodiversity.

Affiliations: 
Caetano-Anollés is a professor of bioinformatics in the in the  (ACES) and health innovation professor in the at the . He is also a faculty affiliate in the .

Artificial Intelligence (AI), Biodiversity, Biogeography, Climate Change, GIs, Invasive Species, Land Use, land use change, Remote Sensing

Chunyuan Diao has been an assistant professor of Geography and Geographic Information Science at the university of Illinois Urbana-Champaign since 2017. She teaches courses including Introduction to Remote Sensing, Techniques of Remote Sensing, and Programming for GIS.

Her research focuses on computational remote sensing of terrestrial ecosystem dynamics at local to global spatial scales and daily to decadal temporal scales. She has a particular interest in advancing computational remote sensing paradigms in characterizing land surface patterns and processes, underlying mechanisms, and subsequent feedbacks to the atmosphere. Her work combines remote sensing, process-based models, field observations, artificial intelligence, and high-performance and cloud computing to study ecosystem structures, functions, and responses to climate change and human activities. This research traverses varying ecosystems, including natural (e.g., forest), human-dominated (e.g., agriculture), and disturbed (e.g., species invasion) ecosystems. Current focus areas include computational remote sensing, multi-scale land surface phenology, intelligent agriculture, and invasive species and biodiversity.

Her research team has developed a novel framework, called CropSight, to retrieve the object-based crop type ground truth. CropSight is a unique national-scale crop ground reference data repository and embodies a wealth of season-long remotely sensed crop growth and environmental attributes across crop growing locations for most crop types in the U.S.

She is a fellow of the Association of American Geographers and previously received the Early/Mid-Career Research Award from the University Consortium for Geographic Information Science (2023), a National Science Foundation CAREER Award (2021), the NASA Early Career Investigator Award (2021), and AAG Early Career Scholars in Remote Sensing Award (2020).
