Two Papers Accepted Last Week!

6/4/2012

Over the weekend we heard that two papers had been accepted. One, lead by Darren Obbard at the University of Edinburgh, examines dating in the Drosophilidae using several Hawaiian calibration points. It will be appearing in Molecular Biology and Evolution.

The other is a survey of Wolbachia in endemic Hawaiian insects (see Figure) that will be out in Fly. The paper was coauthored by Gordon Bennett and former undergraduate Norma Pantoja.

We were invited to submit a full NSF proposal on the ecology and phylogenetics of the genus Scaptomzya. We're working with Noah Whiteman and Rick Lapoint at the University of Arizona. This work will examine the biogeography and phylogeny of Scaptomyza in Hawaii and throughout the world.

Gordon, Crystal and Patrick

Congratulations to all the lab members who are graduating this year. Gordon received his PhD and will be moving on to a postdoctoral position in Nancy Moran's Lab at Yale. Crystal got her Bachelor's degree in Molecular Toxicology and is applying to Pharmacy School. Best of luck to you both in the future!

Dr. Gordon Bennett

Isn't he so cute?

You know dad, you're not the only one who gets to play dress up...

The lab has gotten funding to do population genetics on some aquatic insects as part of a larger project trying to understand how climate change will impact species in California. This proposal is funded through Berkeley's Initiative in Global Change Biology (BIGCB). Partner labs include Vince Resh, Mary Power and Jonathon Stillman.
