Es on the developmental genetic basis of two important life history traits in monkeyflowers: floral ultraviolet pigmentation patterns and cold tolerance plasticity. Research A key goal in biology is to link genotypic variation to phenotypic
- Anna James, Assistant Teaching Professor h-index 9
- Alyson Santoro, Professor
Es on microbes involved in nutrient cycling in the ocean, especially of the element nitrogen. I am interested in cultivating new microbes and discovering novel ways of tracking their activity. This research combines laboratory experiments w
- Andrew Thurber, Associate Professor
Es on how deep-sea and polar communities function. These areas cover well over 63 percent of the globe, provide a wealth of services to mankind, and yet remain largely unknown and unexplored. While my research ranges across all ocean depths
