 Election Citation

|
Lubchenco has made fundamentally important contributions to the understanding of marine plant-herbivore interactions. Her insightful experiments showed how consumer preference determines community composition, identified stage-dependent consumption, and clarified the duality of competitive and predatory processes. She is a leader for ecologically-based, global assessments and integrated research programs. |
