Dr. Sewall has won a competitive grant awarded through the Temple University Faculty Senate. The grant provides support for Dr. Sewall’s ongoing research on community ecology. The grant focuses on improving theoretical and empirical understanding of mutualistic networks, the sets of mutually-beneficial interactions that link diverse species within ecological communities. The research involves field research in Madagascar, where Dr. Sewall is quantifying mutualisms between frugivores (fruit-eating animals) and fruit-bearing trees in a tropical dry forest.
