Marty Condon, professor of biology at Cornell College, has been studying flies in the tropics for years, and in a paper published in the journal Science, she reports evidence that there is more to a fly’s ecological niche than where it lives and what it eats—you have to look at what eats the fly, as well.
Beginning next summer the college will seek to double the number of supported research projects, currently at 12 to 14 and mostly in the sciences, by accommodating additional projects in the arts, humanities, and humanistic social sciences.
