Project Description This project aims to monitor, quantify, and analyze the mating behavior of an interesting species of tropical bird, the white-bearded manakin (Manacus manacus). Male white-bearded manakins congregate at locations called “leks” to perform elaborate, energetically costly mating displays to attract females. These displays involve leaping between vertical saplings and smashing their wings together […]

Project Description Baldcypress is a key species for coastal restoration, yet we know very little about its microbial communities. We are investigating how salinity from sea level rise influences the microbiome (bacteria and fungi) associated with baldcypress roots. In previous work, we have screened bacteria and fungi isolated from mangroves, smooth cordgrass and baldcypress for […]
