In case you missed the announcement, some students attending the Asilomar conference this January will be camping nearby to save costs on housing. Get in touch here if you are interested!

Carlos Bustos is an evolutionary ecologist interested in how intraspecific interactions influence the evolution of organisms.  For his PhD at Australian National University, he is focusing on how intraspecific plant chemical variation affects interaction with herbivores at different biological levels.  Carlos has experience working with a range of plant species (including Datura stramonium, Brassica oleracea and Melaleuca alternifolia), and from completing a Master’s degree at UNAM in Mexico where he studied the rapid evolution of plant defenses in a contemporary population. Carlos is excited about continuing his ecological research with scientists from around the world (so please introduce yourself if you see him at an upcoming meeting!) and also about playing a role in the growing Latin American scientific community.

Welcome to the new website for ASN Grads!  The goal of this site is to facilitate interaction and communication among the graduate student members of the American Society of Naturalists.  If you have any ideas for how this website may be improved, or if you have a post-doc opportunity, workshop, or bio you would like us to consider for posting on the home page, please contact us.

If you would like to apply to join the ASN Graduate Council, stay tuned for our next call for applications in September.
