She holds a senior CNRS position in the Centre d’Ecologie Fonctionnelle et Evolutive (CNRS, UMR 5175, Montpellier, France). Her main research interests are focused on understanding the mechanisms involved in the evolution of adaptive traits, especially in a context of climate change and urbanisation. buckler-e.jpg ** Ed Buckler ------------------------------------------------------------ ** USDA-ARS Crop Geneticist, Cornell University ------------------------------------------------------------ Ed Buckler is a USDA-ARS crop geneticist based at Cornell University campus. Ed’s research focusses on developing genomic, statistical, and bioinformatic methods with applications in maize and other crops. Key questions are: How does genetic variation give rise to phenotypic variation?; How can we use genetics to make agriculture more efficient and share those efficiencies globally?; How can we reduce the impact of agriculture on the environment?
