Spring 2024
Harnoor, Jenna, Jodie, and Zach had their paper ("Hot and Scared: How do heat waves and predation risk impact resource acquisition and allocation?") published at Biology Letters! Harnoor and Jenna presented this project at the National Conference on Undergraduate Research in Long Beach.
Phillip, Emmaleigh, Kathy, and Zach had their paper ("Toxicity of glyphosate to animals: a meta-analytical approach") published at Environmental Pollution. This paper started as a remote-only pandemic project, and Phillip (now in dental school at UPenn) spearheaded the effort to get it written up and published.
Winter 2023-2024
Austin, Jacob, and Kat each did a great job presenting their thesis research projects at the Annual Meeting of the Society for Integrative & Comparative Biology in Seattle!
Fall 2023
Zach, Daniel, Jessica, and Will had their paper ("Availability of mates and food influence the plasticity in strategies mediating life-history tradeoffs in an insect") published in Oikos!
Summer 2023
Zach was fortunate to coauthor a chapter ("Stress Ecology in Snakes") in the upcoming Snakes: Morphology, Function, and Ecology book (Ed. David Penning). The chapter was led by Natalie Claunch, and features a bunch of amazing snake experts from across the U.S.
Zach, Justin, Breena, Prynces, and Jacob had their paper ("A simulated heat wave—but not herbicide exposure—alters resource investment strategy in an insect") published by Journal of Thermal Biology.
Good news! The paper on Alyssa's undergraduate research project ("Spatiotemporal variation in water availability drives insect community dynamics in an urban riparian zone") has been published by Urban Ecosystems.
Austin was awarded the Hunter-Nahhas Summer Fellowship for M.S. students in our department. His thesis work examines plasticity in life-history, coloration, and temperature tolerance in response to temperature magnitude and variation.
