Michael H. Horn California State University, Fullerton Dr. Horn studies the feeding ecology of fishes and birds. With his collaboration we plan to investigate the evolution of dietary specialization in prickleback fishes (Stichaeidae) and fruit-eating characins from the Amazonian basin. Dr. Horn's website |

J.J. Emerson University of California, Irvine Dr. Emerson studies evolutionary genetics in a range of taxa, but mostly Drosophila species. Together with Mahul Chakraborty (Emerson Lab Postdoc), we have sequenced the genome of Cebidichthys violaceus and are matching the genome with physiological outcomes. Dr. Emerson's website |

Anthony Herrel Museum National D'Histoire Naturelle, Paris Dr. Herrel studies the evolution of complex integrated systems, which includes locomotion and feeding in vertebrate animals. We are collaborating with Dr. Herrel in our examinations of the nutritional physiology of the Italian Wall Lizard (Podarcis sicula). Dr. Herrel's website |
