Extremophile Fishes: Ecology, Evolution, Conservation
Tobler Lab at the University of Missouri—St. Louis
At their annual Cichlid Extravaganza, the Ohio Cichlid Association kindly gave us an opportunity to talk about our research to a broad audience of fish enthusiasts. Some of the other speakers included Hans Evers and Ad Konings. It was great…
Graduate student Reid Morehouse won the best student presentation award at the 2012 meeting of the Oklahoma Chapter of the American Fisheries Society. He presented data from his dissertation research on the identification, distribution, and ecology of Oklahoma crayfish species....
Our collaborator Dr. Joanna Kelley at Stanford University just received a fellowship from the L’Oreal USA Fellowships for Women in Science program. The fellowship will enable her to pursue research on the genomic basis of adaptation to extreme environments in...
Check out our recent paper in the Journal of Evolutionary Biology: Physiological adaptation along environmental gradients and replicated hybrid zone structure in swordtails (Teleostei: Xiphophorus). Previous research in the Rosenthal lab at Texas A&M has shown that hybrids between X. malinche...
Our undergraduate researcher and lab manager Ryan Greenway was awarded a Niblack Research Scholarship by Oklahoma State University. Funded by a gift from OSU alumnus Dr. John Niblack, Ryan will receive an $8,000 scholarship and will have the opportunity to continue...
It’s the ultimate introduction to cave biology, at least for kids (and alliterate students). Ana Maria Rodriguez wrote a nifty little book on “Vampire bats, giant insects, and other mysterious animals of the darkest caves“, which – amongst other things...
Courtney Passow received a scholarship that allows her to attend Oklahoma State University’s Summer Workshop in Bioinformatics: Disentangling Entangled Genomes. The workshop, which will be held in August 2012, is designed to provide a general and basic introduction to the...
Tess Doumas will be joining our lab early summer to pursue a M.S. degree at OSU. Tess received her Bachelor’s degree in Biology from Hendrix College. She is interested in evolutionary biology, behavioral ecology, and sexual selection.
