Check out our new JEB paper, led by Michel E B Ohmer ! Frogs, climate change, behavior, and more. 🐸💚

Join us on Tuesday 6/6 at the Pymatuning Lab of Ecology dining hall (11758 Fries Rd.) at 7pm for a talk by Chris Tracey of NatureServe about his work using biodiversity data to inform conservation decisions.

Hello #Evol2023 -- I am preparing to recruit 2 postdocs and 1 lab technician in the next year. More details coming soon (will ads post here), but I wanted to get the word out! See image below for details. Also see our website tarvinlab.org & email me if interested

We have completed week 1 of Gene Team, and the students have been hard at work! It’s been a great start to a very interesting project from the RZ Amphibian Lab!

The Gene Team had a very busy day of experiments! They are working on a project from the RZ Amphibian Lab to identify bacteria from frog slime and test if it can inhibit fungal growth. They’ve already made great progress and we can’t wait to see all of their data and conclusions!

Student volunteers from Pymatuning Lab of Ecology conducted outreach at the Linesville Onion Festival where visitors of all ages learned about life at the organismal, cellular, and molecular levels using microscopy and DNA extractions! 🧅 ↔️ 🧬 #SciComm

Join us on Tuesday 7/18 at 7pm in the Pymatuning Lab of Ecology dining hall for a seminar by Taylor Zallek entitled "Using experimental evolutionary ecology to understand biological invasions"

Join us tomorrow, July 20th, at 1pm in A219B Langley Hall to hear from the Gene Team about their work this summer!

Summer teacher workshop 2023: Duckweed Dynamics with @Exp_EvoEco. It was so nice to be back at Pymatuning Lab of Ecology working with awesome high school teachers!

Anyone following the tragic story of the skin-eating fungus 'Bd' devastating amphibian populations knows good news is rare. Now, some frogs in California appear to have evolved resistance to the disease, and years of restoration efforts seem to be working. newscientist.com/article/241167…

Thanks to Roland Knapp UC Santa Barbara for discussing his team's years of work with me. Thanks Corinne Zawacki University of Pittsburgh for insights.
