In recent years, research activities have focused on plant-herbivore interactions, insect population dynamics, optimal foraging, plant succession, plant reproductive ecology, and the influence of landscape structure on the demography, distribution and persistence of small mammal and insect populations. Research activity is particularly pronounced during the summer months during which Blandy provides opportunities for 15-20 undergraduate, graduate, and post-doctoral researchers to conduct ecological research while in residence. Members of the summer community enjoy a weekly research seminar series, opportunities to participate in specialty seminars, and numerous opportunities for informal collegial discussion.
