There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

Legacies of stress: eco-evolutionary consequences of transgenerational & carryover effects in coastal systems
Phenotypic plasticity is a critical component of organisms’ responses to environmental change. My seminar will focus on a major component of my research program – “legacy effects,” or how past environmental experiences shape organism phenotypes, the mechanisms of these changes, and the consequences for communities and ecosystems. We will explore how parental experience with predators influences fitness and physiology in intertidal snails and how early life exposure to climate change stressors impacts oyster growth and nitrogen storage, a critical ecosystem service. By asking questions across scales, my work reveals new insights into how legacy effects shape patterns and processes in marine systems.
Host: Dr. Mark Hay
