New Faces in the lab!

The 2013-2014 academic year has now begun! This year we have two new BI499 Honours Thesis students: Leah DeJong (left) and Ashley Guncay (Right), who will be exploring new facets of the adaptive nature of female choice. Leah is investigating whether genetic variation in female choosiness is associated with direct and or indirect fitness, while Ashley is examining the relationship between attractiveness and offspring immunocompetence.

First MSc thesis defended in the Long Lab!

Congratulations to Shawn on the receipt of his MSc! It was a busy year -but it proved to be very rewarding and exciting. With this degree under his belt, Shawn has now moved on to medical school in Limerick.
