Diving is well underway here in the Philippines – we (Michelle, Joyce, and Allison) are back for another season studying metapopulation dynamics of reef fish. So far we’ve been visiting the northern sites in our study area in the Albuera
2017 field season was a big success, with Michelle, Katrina, Allison, Malin, Gerry, Apollo, and Rodney. Check out some photos here.
Jordan Holtswarth joined our lab last summer as an REU student and did a wonderful job analyzing photos we had on clownfish reproduction in Leyte, Philippines. Her paper showing they breed November-May (the cold months) is just out in Bulletin
Allison Dedrick and Joyce Ong have just joined the lab as postdocs, and we’re excited to have them here! Allison is coming from a Ph.D. with Marissa Baskett and Loo Botsford at UC Davis, and Joyce just finished her Ph.D.
It is May, and we have a larger-than-usual team this year headed to Visayas State University in the Philippines to continue our research on metapopulation dynamics in coral reef fish. Michelle is leading the tagging and sample collection, Katrina is
Took a while to get through all the photos from May/June fieldwork in Leyte, Philippines, but Michelle just posted a few highlights on the Photos page!
The lab is busy these days, and we’re excited to welcome a visitor, a new Ph.D. student, and two new postdocs! Wijnand Boonstra is a sociologist from the Stockholm Resilience Centre, visiting to work on fisheries dynamics related to our
PhD and postdoctoral positions in metapopulation dynamics and population genomics One postdoctoral position and one PhD position are available in the Pinsky Lab at Rutgers University to study demography and metapopulation dynamics in clownfishes. The research is based in the
Jordan Holtswarth has joined us for the summer as part of the RIOS program, a NSF-funded Research Experience for Undergraduates. She comes from the University of Missouri and will be helping analyze data on clownfish reproduction.
Nearly the whole lab and many collaborators will be at Ocean Sciences in New Orleans next week talking about our work! Monday, 9:30-9:45am, R02: Talia Young, “ME11A-07: How Are Fishing Patterns and Fishing Communities Responding to Climate Change? A
