Summer 2021
Zach and lab alum, Erinn Chang's paper ("Body condition indices are better surrogates for lean mass and water content than for body fat content in an insect") was accepted for publication in Journal of Zoology!
Spring 2021
It's baaaaack! After a pandemic-induced hiatus, the Annual Stahlschmidt Lab Cricket Race returned to campus in late-April. Jacob, Suheyla, and Cindy were victorious, and brought home *amazing* medals to cherish forever.
Cindy, Emmaleigh, Jacob, Justin, Phillip, Suheyla, and Sonia each did a fantastic job presenting their research projects at the Pacific Undergraduate Research and Creativity Conference (see abstracts here). Their work examined the varied effects of glyphosate, temperature, and artificial light at night across life stages and animal taxa.
Some great news for Sugjit. One of his thesis chapters has been accepted for publication in the Journal of Experimental Biology ("When it's hot and dry: Life-history strategy influences the effects of heat wave and water limitation"), and he was accepted into the Ecosystem Science and Management Ph.D. program at Penn State to work in Dr. Bradley Cardinale's new research group!
Fall 2020
Through a bit of luck and creativity, the lab is going strong as research shifts toward more at-home work (egg counting, microdissections, image analysis, meta-analyses, and writing) given remote-only instruction at Pacific for the semester.
