Dybiec and Fromenthal Awarded SWS Research Grants

Congratulations to Jake Dybiec (Ph.D. student) and Emily Fromenthal (M.S. student), both of whom received student research grants from the Society of Wetland Scientists to support their graduate research. Jake's project examines the role of sedimentation in mediating the outcomes of competition between Spartina alterniflora and Juncus roemerianus​, and Emily's project compares insect communities between natural and restored marshes, with a focus on pollinators.
