The lab is currently celebrating the recent arrival of Margie Mayfield’s second son. He kept us waiting for nearly a week but was finally welcomed by the Mayfield-Scott family on October 12.

More cause for celebration this month as our Honours student Hao Ran Lai submitted his thesis. His project, looking at the relationship between plant functional traits and community assembly in human-disturbed subtropical rainforests, was quite successful and the lab is encouraging him to continue his research career.
