Lytle Lab opportunities
Graduate study
If you are interested in graduate study in the Lytle lab
contact Dr. David Lytle. Support
generally comes from graduate research assistantships in Dr. Lytle’s lab and
departmental teaching assistantships. The Zoology Department
guarantees 5 years of support.
Currently projects include the following, but others related
to the ecology and evolution of aquatic organisms are
possible:
Using theory, behavioral experiments,
and molecular methods to study how aquatic insects evolve strategies for
surviving flash floods (NSF funded)
Studying the ecological effects of
flow regime modifications (dams, diversions, channelization)
on aquatic plants and animals (The Nature Conservancy, US Fish & Wildlife
Service)
Developing image recognition
technology to identify aquatic invertebrates for conservation efforts
(collaborative NSF funded)
