This video was created for Complex Systems Professor Fernanda Valdovinos and Valdovinos Lab.
Valdovinos Lab studies the structure and dynamics of ecological networks at ecological and evolutionary scales, including their resilience to biodiversity loss, biological invasions, climate change, and exploitation by humans.
We strive to support our students and faculty on the frontlines of learning and research; to steward our planet, our community, our campus. To do this, the Center for the Study of Complex Systems needs you—because the world needs Victors.
