As part of the
Understanding the Rules of Life: Predicting Phenotype, one of ten “Big Ideas” NSF-wide, this new solicitation builds on previous URoL programs to help increase knowledge and the ability to predict an organism’s observable characteristics its phenotype from its genotype. Understanding the mechanisms at play in the interconnections between living organisms and their environments, across every biological scale, will provide vital insight into grand biological challenges, help advance biotechnology to spur the US bioeconomy, and a

In agricultural landscapes, predatory insects provide an essential ecosystem service valued at billions of dollars annually by suppressing pests that damage crops. A new study published in
Agriculture, Ecosystems & Environment that includes data from the U.S. National Science Foundation-funded Kellogg Biological Station Long-Term Ecological Researchsite found that natural pest suppression gains a big boost when agricultural landscapes are patchy and include a high ratio of natural edge habitat between fields.
Better understanding of how pest suppression works can help researchers and growers to maintain productive crop yields. Past studies have focused on the types of habitat patches surrounding crop fields, but sometimes those types don t tell the whole story. This study, which draws on Kellogg Biological Station LTER da
