Ecology, evolution, and social dynamics. Welcome to the Akçay lab website. We are in the Department of Biology. The lab is interested in a variety of topics in theoretical biology, all having to do with the evolution of complex biological and social organization. We work on how individuals with conflicting interests evolve to cooperate with each other, in contexts varying from plant-microbe mutualisms to animal and human behavior.

I am a global change ecologist, broadly interested in how community and ecosystem responses to global change drivers are mediated by biotic factors. I investigate responses to global change drivers from multiple angles, including the roles that trophic interactions, symbioses, and diversity play in determining the effects of diverse global change factors, such as increased nutrient availability, consumer loss, altered climatic regimes, and species invasions.
