Extremophile Fishes: Ecology, Evolution, Conservation
Tobler Lab at the University of Missouri—St. Louis
Zach Culumber received a NIH postdoctoral award through the Kansas IDeA Network of Biomedical Research Excellence (K-INBRE). He was awarded over $37,000 to investigate molecular pathways mediating responses to toxic hydrogen sulfide exposure. Congratulations!
Under the leadership of Garrett Hopper, all graduate students in the lab participated in the Family STEM Night at Lee Elementary School in Manhattan, KS. Using fun activities and displays of fish and reptiles, the kids learned about animal adaptation to...
The U.S. Army Research Laboratory’s Army Research Office (ARO) has awarded $390,000 towards a project investigating the physiological effects and processing of hydrogen sulfide. The project focuses on comparative analyses between sulfide-tolerant and non-tolerant fish species and will be pursued...
Mattie Bieberly – an undergraduate researcher in our lab – was selected to receive an OURCI Research Award from KSU’s Office of Undergraduate Research & Creative Inquiry during the Spring semester of 2015. Mattie will work closely with Dr. Zach...
Robbie Shone, who accompanied us on a recent trip to photograph the Cueva del Azufre in Mexico, was featured on National Geographic Weekend. On this radio show, he talked about his experiences working in one of the most poisonous caves...
Mattie Bieberly – an undergraduate researcher in our lab – was selected as a participant in the SCTE-sponsored Undergraduate Research Scholarship Program during the Spring semester of 2015. Mattie will work closely with Dr. Zach Culumber and investigate physiological differences...
Last May, Robbie Shone accompanied our expedition to Mexico to take photographs of some of the caves and sulfide spring we work in. He describes his experiences in a short video below. Cueva de Villa Luz in Mexico A little...
A book project co-edited with Rüdiger Riesch and Martin Plath finally went into production. “Extremophile Fishes: Ecology, Evolution, and Physiology of Teleosts in Extreme Environments” will be distributed by Springer and is available early 2015. A number of authors have...
