George Uetz, Professor of Biological Sciences at the University of Cincinnati will present...
"Multimodal communication of spiders in a complex environment"
He earned his B.A. at Albion College, Albion, MI, 1968 (Biology), his M.S. at the University of Delaware, Newark, DE, in 1970 (Entomology and Applied Ecology) and his Ph.D. at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, in 1976 (Ecology, Ethology and Evolution).
Dr. Uetz studies animal behavior and ecology, with the goal of understanding how the environment influences the evolution of behavior. The major focus of his research is the behavioral ecology of spiders, whose small size, short life span, and behavioral diversity make them excellent model systems for investigation. He uses both field-based observational studies and laboratory experimentation.
