It is an exciting time of the semester when the stellar undergrads in the lab have the opportunity to present their research! We have a diversity of exciting projects this semester –
Erika’s work focused on evaluating Bergmann’s ecogeographic rule in stinkpot turtles.
Cory presented her work on geographic variation of copperhead venoms using proteomics assays.
Connor presented his research on eco-evolutionary dynamics of snake skull morphology derived from microCt scan data
Lily presented her work on malaria in tropical lizards using genetics approaches to detect malaria and identify the strain.
Emily’s presentation focused on evaluating population-level variation in reptile scales in a Caribbean anole using museum specimens.
