John Reiss and Karen Kiemnec-Tyburczy
Biological Sciences
John Reiss and Karen Kiemnec-Tyburczy have been awarded a 3-year National Science Foundation (Division of Integrative Organismal Systems) grant to study the evolution of olfaction across multiple species of lungless salamanders with different developmental modes.
Catalina Cuellar-Gempeler
Biological Sciences
Catalina Cuellar-Gempeler earned the NSF Career award, one of the most prestigious awards offered by NSF.
Karley Rojas
Biological Sciences
Undergraduate Karley Rojas (Botany) has received a science fellowship from the Agricultural Research Institute for their proposed study of native plants that have the potential to be utilized in the context of agroecosystem building as consistent with regional TEK. They will be working with their mentors Dr.Buddhika Madurapperuma and Craig Benson.
Karen Kiemnec-Tyburczy
Biological Sciences
Karen Kiemnec-Tyburczy and co-authors published a paper "A New Perspective on Female-to-Male Communication in Salamander Courtship" in Integrative and Comparative Biology. The paper can be viewed at https://doi.org/10.1093/icb/icaa087
Eve Robinson and Nicholas Som
Biological Sciences
Eve Robinson (Department of Biological Sciences) and Nicholas Som (Department of Fisheries Biology; USFWS) co-authored an article in the North American Journal of Fisheries Management, titled "Prevalence of infection in hatchery-origin Chinook Salmon correlates with abundance of Ceratonova shasta spores: implications for management and disease risk”. Their research was motivated by questions the State raised about potential linkages between hatchery fish and disease risk, and results from this work were published earlier this year in time to be used by decision-makers in timing the release of hatchery smolts in the Klamath River.
Oscar Vargas
Biological Sciences
Oscar Vargas, Assistant Professor at the Department of Biological Sciences, published a paper in the journal Evolution:"Patterns of speciation are similar across mountainous and lowland regions for a Neotropical plant radiation (Costaceae: Costus)" https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/evo.14108
