I'm a senior at the College, currently studying New Caledonian mite harvesters in the genus Troglosiro for my thesis. I love all things outdoors, but especially those underappreciated things that creep or crawl! I'm passionate about learning more about...
Elio (he/him) is a junior at the college and is currently working on porcelain crab DNA extractions. He loves all invertebrates and wants to make friends with all of them.
I am a senior at the College, studying Integrative Biology. I am passionate about marine biology and biodiversity conservation. Currently, I am researching cosmopolitan intertidal crabs of the genus Percnon and assembling their first molecular phylogeny...
I am a researcher in the lab, originally from Kenya, broadly interested in the molecular phylogenomics and biogeography of a wide range of invertebrate taxa. While I love all inverts (except house centipedes), I have a particular fondness for harvesters...
I am broadly interested in the evolutionary history of terrestrial invertebrates and understanding mechanisms of biodiversity genesis, specifically in island systems. I study a variety of animals (spiders, myriapods, velvet worms), and use phylogenomics...
I am interested in understanding how earth and environmental processes influence the distributions and diversification of invertebrate groups. I use genomic and phylogenetic techniques to investigate these questions in both marine and terrestrial...
In the past I have studied the behavior ecology of various spider groups. Now I am taking a plunge into the world of marine biology and studying to pycnogonids. Transitioning from my ecological background to understand the evolution of this group. Using...
My research is on the ecology and evolution of social invertebrates, with a focus on termites. I am studying how Central African rainforest termites adapted to savanna conditions. Using phylogenetics and behavioral ecology, I will explore the evolution of...
Bridget is the Faculty Coordinator for the Girbet lab handling all admistrative duties for Professor Giribet and Giribet lab members. Bridget is also a liason between the Giribet lab and the OEB Administration Department.
My primary research focuses on the evolution and biogeography of invertebrate animals. In the lab we use genomic, transcriptomic, and morphological data from living and extinct animals to better understand evolution. A large body of of work focuses on...
