Investigate patterns in the interactions among organisms and their environments—from the molecule to the biosphere
Students in Penn State’s Intercollege Graduate Degree Program in Ecology:
Peter Hudson, Willaman Professor of Biology in the Eberly College of Science and former director of the Huck Institues of the Life Sciences selected for the Lifetime Achievement Award. Hudson and annual recipients will be honored at an awards ceremony in Robb Hall in the Hintz Alumni Center on March 26.
Decades of research has shown promise for using microbiome science to solve several problems facing agriculture, but these findings have not yet been translated to practical recommendations for growers, according to a team of scientists in Penn State’s College of Agricultural Sciences.
To better equip organic farmers to control weeds, a team of Penn State agricultural scientists received a four-year, $935,000 grant from the U.S. Department of Agriculture to study how promoting soil microbes to infect and kill weed seeds might reduce problematic weed species.

In a new study published in the Journal of Chemical Ecology, a team led by researchers in Penn State’s College of Agricultural Sciences found that domesticated flowers have different scent chemical profiles than wild plants in several species of squash. Additionally, the specialized pollinators of these plants—squash bees—detect different compounds, called floral volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in wild plants that they co-evolved with than in domesticated plants.
