Improving aquaculture and identifying impact of climate change by researching crab molting
Mykles will lead a team awarded a $1.2 million National Science Foundation (NSF) grant to use DNA and peptide sequencing to identify genes and proteins essential for the molting process.
Biology post-doctoral researcher uses genomic data to improve conservation of endangered species
Forester was awarded the David H. Smith Conservation Research Fellowship, which she will use to investigate how best to integrate large-scale genomic data into ESA listing decisions.
Zoology alumna and conservationist co-founds One Earth Conservation

Biology professor Kristen Ruegg receives NSF grant to study wintering grounds of migratory birds
Ruegg received the NSF Career Award Grant of 1.18 M dollars to continue her research into migratory birds. Her team will study the migration of 11 species, the first empirical test of the theory that the individuals from the same breeding site migrating to the same wintering site promotes local adaptation in wintering areas.
