TeachingĮcology, Species interactions, Professional skills for graduate students, biology outreach to Tucson K-12 schools. With Matthew Mars, she is currently extending these concepts to explore educational "ecosystems" in the state of Arizona, as well as terrorist networks and how principles of ecosystem organization can be used to disrupt them. Specific conceptual areas of interest include: (i) conflicts of interest between mutualists and their consequences for the maintenance of beneficial outcomes (ii) the causes and consequences of "cheating" within mutualism (iii) context-dependent outcomes in both mutualisms and antagonisms and (iv) anthropogenic threats to mutualisms. Using a combination of field observations, experiments, and theory, they are examining how population processes, abiotic conditions, and the community context determine net effects of interactions for the fitness of each participant species. Bronstein’s large, active lab focuses on the ecology and evolution of interspecific interactions, particularly on the poorly-understood, mutually beneficial ones (mutualisms).
