Types of questions you could address in your independent, mentored research: 1) What is the interaction network structure of these rhizobia-­‐legume communities? 2) How does competition alter interactions with rhizobia? 3) Are there abiotic factors such as soil nutrients or salt spray that alter interactions between legumes and their rhizobia?
