Research Flow E4 Balancing Science and Wellness; Exploring Species Coexistence with Aaron Krivchenia

In this episode, we dive into the fascinating world of species interactions and ecological dynamics with Aaron Krivchenia, a PhD candidate at Louisiana State University. Aaron’s research explores how habitat fragmentation, conditional dispersal, interspecific competition, and predation shape population dynamics and species coexistence. Using Tribolium flour beetles as his model, Aaron integrates innovative microcosm experiments with reaction-diffusion models to unravel complex ecological processes at both patch and landscape levels.
But it’s not all about the research! Aaron also shares his approach to maintaining balance during graduate school, emphasizing the power of routines and the benefits of regular exercise for mental clarity and productivity. Join us for an insightful conversation that covers both the scientific challenges of studying biodiversity and practical tips for thriving in a PhD program!

Such an incredible episode! Aaron’s research on species interactions and habitat fragmentation is so fascinating. I also loved how Uli, the host, guided the conversation and made it so engaging. Aaron’s tips on maintaining balance during grad school, especially with routines and exercise, were super helpful. Definitely one of my favorite episodes! 🐞🌿
