<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt">Please join BSGS in welcoming Dr. Zakee Sabree, assistant professor in the Department of Evolution, Ecology, and Organismal Biology at Ohio State University (<a href="https://eeob.osu.edu/people/sabree.8)">https://eeob.osu.edu/people/sabree.8)</a>.
Dr. Sabree will be giving a talk on <b>Tuesday, February 13</b> <b>at 4:00 PM in Irvine 159
</b>titled “<i>Insect-Bacterial Symbioses or The Consequences of Intimacy</i>.”<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt">Dr. Sabree is “fundamentally interested in how different animal species collaborate to improve their overall fitness. His research program focuses on mutualisms between microbes and their eukaryotic hosts,
primarily in nonmodel systems, towards identifying key adaptive features conferred upon hosts by their microbial partners and the evolutionary consequences of these relationships. Major goals of his lab efforts are to link specific bacterial species to beneficial
host outcomes, determine if shared digestive anatomy and physiology observed between deeply diverged animals is evidence of convergent evolution driven by microbial symbionts and develop useful approaches for identifying consequential linkages between hosts
and their microbiota.”<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt">Dr. Sabree will be available to meet with during his stay. I will send out a schedule of available meeting times shortly.
