Research at Meeman Biological Station
Current research at MBS emphasizes multidisciplinary realms of inquiry. Our approaches
are organized mostly in terms of collaborative or integrative syntheses, rather than
separate disciplines. Such a perspective is critical for a more informed understanding
the biocomplexity of ecological and evolutionary phenomena. The scientists involved
in defining the research vision of MBS are committed to these values and to a comprehensive
research program where participants will be flexible, broader, and more skilled at
collaborative, multidisciplinary, and group research rather than strict approaches
along disciplinary lines. This tradition has been firmly established by MBS Director
and has considerably improved the caliber of research and training programs at MBS.
