Or speculate why Syrian hamsters are perpetual hoarders? How does the diet of the brown marmorated stink bug affect its sex life? These particular questions -and many more- were examined and answered at the 9th Annual Lehigh Valley Ecology and Evolution Symposium (LVEES), hosted by DeSales University, this past Saturday, April 14. LVEES was held at the university’s Hurd Science center from 9 a.m.- 5:30 p.m. The event moderated sixteen presentations from twelve area colleges, in conjunction with the Lehigh Valley Association of Independent Colleges (LVAIC). Project topics ranged from aquatic ecology, theory and sex, to the ecology of feeding relationships. Presentations were fifteen minutes in length, with the final three minutes reserved for questions from Symposium judges and the audience. LVEES culminated with a keynote address by Dr. Dustin Brisson of the University of Pennsylvania’s Biology Department. The Lehigh Valley Ecology and Evolution Symposium was established nine years ago by LVAIC member schools to provide a local scientific gathering for faculty and students to present their research in ecology and evolution. Participants this year represented Cedar Crest College, College of New Jersey, Desales University, Lafayette College, Lehigh University, Moravian College, Muhlenberg College, Northampton Community College, University of Pennsylvania, University of Scranton, Ursinus College, Villanova University, Widener University, and Wilkes College.
