Phyllis Dewing Coley is a Biology professor currently teaching at the University of Utah. In 1996 she received the University’s Distinguished Research Award. She has been a research associate at the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute since 1995...〔https://www.stri.si.edu/english/scientific_staff/research_associates/index.php〕 In 1974, she completed her B.A. at Hampshire College. Her M.A. and doctorate were completed at the University of Chicago by studying resource availability theory, including the effects of leaf age and plant life history patterns on herbivory, and patterns of plant defenses.〔http://biologylabs.utah.edu/coley/p-coley.htm〕 Throughout her academic career, Dr. Coley has received multiple honors and awards. She received the National Science Foundation (NSF) Career Advancement Award in 1994〔http://www.nsf.gov/funding/pgm_summ.jsp?pims_id=503214〕 and in 2002 was named an ISI highly cited researcher in Ecology/Environment.〔http://highlycited.com/isihighlycited.htm〕 Since 2006, Dr. Coley has been a fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences (AAAS).〔http://faculty.utah.edu/u0028050-PHYLLIS_D_COLEY/bibliography/index.hml;jsessionid=ed4c9b963387f03f96d21b6dc54a:1Dk0y7tLoGJk3lge〕 == Research interests == Dr. Coley’s research interests include bioprospecting and plant defenses and herbivory in tropical forests. Additional emphasis of research includes the study of conservation of tropical rainforests and how tropical herbivores are regulated by the third trophic level〔http://biologylabs.utah.edu/coley/p-coley.htm〕 Current attentions in her research are focused on chemical defenses and linking these to other plant traits, within a phylogenetic context. This research is primarily based on the tropical plants part of the Fabaceae family as a model to understand how herbivores may be driving rapid evolution of defenses and how this might contribute to community assembly and speciation in the genus〔http://biologylabs.utah.edu/coley/p-coley.htm〕 Her research has implications in understanding multi-species comparisons and interactions in tropical communities. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Phyllis Coley」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
