Intrepid scientists, brave daddies, and so-so appliance repairmen.
True to his calling, Dr. Gabe Hamer (ENTO) and his helpers investigate why the dryer wasn’t working. What did they discover? Well, let’s just say the problem wasn’t lint in the air filter.
Welcome to EEB’s new adjunct faculty member Jesse Meik!
Dr. Meik is an assistant professor of biology at Tarleton State University and studies ecology and comparative evolutionary biology. His major research interests include systematics, taxonomy, and biogeography of reptiles and amphibians, and the evolution of body size and sexual size dimorphism. He has worked extensively in Mexico, where he has conducted research on treefrogs, blunt-headed vine snakes, and island populations of rattlesnakes.
Kristina Chyn is a 3rd year PhD student in Lee Fitzgerald’s lab. Kristina is broadly interested in conservation, landscape ecology, and herpetology.
For her dissertation, she studies the direct and indirect effects of roads on reptiles and amphibians in Taiwan and is conducting her fieldwork on a Fulbright fellowship (2016-2017).
She received her B.S. in Science of Natural and Environmental Systems from Cornell University before joining the EEB program at TAMU.
Janelle Goeke is a PhD student interested in coastal ecology. She received her BS from the State University of New York at Geneseo.
Janelle will be studying community shifts due to mangrove encroachment into salt marshes along the Gulf coast. She is particularly interested in the changes in food web interactions as a result of the mangrove encroachment.
Stephen Bovio is a first year graduate student in the Rosenthal lab and is interested in mate choice and its evolutionary consequences.
Stephen received his BS in biology at Trinity University in San Antonio, Texas, where he studied the social and mating system of the Northern Pygmy Mouse (Baiomys taylori).
