Sabbatical Writing: Microbial Frontiers

10/29/2014

0 Comments

 
One of the main goals of my sabbatical was to write, write, write.  I needed to finish up a number of papers that had been on the back burner for way too long.  I also wanted to start a couple larger projects.  While I didn't get everything done that I wanted to, I was able to make strong progress on all my writing projects.  I also managed to add another paper, coauthored with my host, Noah Whiteman, and his lab.  This turned out to be a nice project that allowed us to summarize some of the microbial work that we have both been doing in our labs.  This paper has just come out online in Frontiers in Microbiology's special Symbioses issue.  Here's a link to the paper.

Silene laciniata
Rick and I went to Angelo to collect Scaptomyza species.  We made collections in the riparian vegetation in Elder and Fox Creeks, as well as along the South Fork of the Eel River.  We got several taxa, including S. flava and S. hsui.

We also collected some aquatics for the lab's BIGCB project, including both species of Dicosmoecus present in the Eel, several Glossosoma species, and two Neophylax species.

Scaptomyza Collecting - Marin and Sonoma

6/27/2012

0 Comments

 
Rick Lapoint is back in town this week collecting Scaptomyza for his postdoctoral research.  We went out to several locations in Marin and Sonoma counties looking for the elusive members of this genus.  We got several species, updates to follow, and almost died only once.  We'll have to wait and see how many complaints Rick gets about his driving....

Scaptomyza Grant Invited for Full Proposal!!

6/4/2012

3 Comments

 
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.
