Photos from last field season now online
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!
Welcoming Wijnand Boonstra, Katrina Catalano, Sarah Gignoux-Wolfsohn, and Emily Moberg!
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
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
Welcome, Jordan!
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.
Come see us at Ocean Sciences!
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
Ph.D. position open in coral reef metapopulation dynamics
We’re looking for good Ph.D. applicants! We have a Ph.D. position open to research marine metapopulation dynamics using field work combined with population genomics. Our research group has interests in marine ecology, population genetics/genomics, climate change, biogeography, dispersal, and fisheries.
Photos from January field trip are up!
We took a lot of photos in January during our trip to Leyte, Philippines, and it has taken us a while to get them sorted and online (thank you, Michelle!). But here they are, plus the rest of our photos

Dive slates become plates
It’s hard to believe that we’ve already been in the Philippines for over a week! Four fifths of the Pinsky Lab is here to conduct a census of clownfish and their host anemones. After two full days of travel by
We’re in Leyte
Field season #2 on our NSF RAPID grant to study coral reef ecosystem recovery from Typhoon Haiyan in Leyte, Philippines. We’re continuing benthic cover, fish visual surveys, and invertebrate surveys, but our main focus is on clownfish metapopulation dynamics and
