DESCRIPTION:Dr. Jaroslav Čepl Seminar - Biological Patterns & Genetic Vari
 ation\nJoin us on October 21st\, 10:00 AM to 11:00 AM at LWSN 3102AB\, in 
 attending "Biological Patterns & Genetic Variation\," a seminar from Dr. J
 aroslav &#268\;epl\, an assistant professor in forestry and wood sciences 
 at the Czech University of Life Sciences in Prague. Refreshments begin at 
 9:30 AM.\n\nFrom bacterial colonies to forest trees\, living systems grow 
 into patterns\, with similar forms of organization recurring across scales
 . Examining how macroscopic bacterial colonies grow or visualizing propert
 ies beyond ordinary perception provides insight into underlying processes 
 and uncovers variation that offers clues to genetic ancestry and physiolog
 ical state. What can growing microbial colonies teach us about how spatial
  patterns develop as organisms expand into new space? Can we infer the pro
 venance of forest trees from their form? Can the shape of a forest tree re
 veal a memory of past stresses? This and other topics will be discussed.\n
 \nDr. &#268\;epl has combined experiments and simulation modeling to study
  genetic variation in forest trees and its implications for adaptation and
  breeding. His work focuses on optical traits\, particularly spectral refl
 ectance and chlorophyll fluorescence. He earned first prize in the Czech M
 inister of Agriculture's Award for Young Scientists for his research on op
 tical traits in Scots Pine.\n\nThis seminar is presented by the Department
  of Computer Science\, CS Computational Vegetation Lab and the Institute f
 or Digital Forestry. For more information\, email Bedrich Benes at bbenes@
