Trevor Krabbenhoft, Assistant ProfessorWe study fish genome evolution and the origins and maintenance of biodiversity. I am particularly interested how polyploidy (whole genome duplications) contribute to phenotypic and ecological diversity fishes such as suckers (Catostomidae) and ciscoes (Salmonidae).

Kimberly is interested in the evolution of aging in fishes. |
Pia Schwarz, Undergraduate Honors Student and Miles Fellow
Pia is studying the ecology and evolutionary dynamics of a hybrid swarm of tessellated darters, Etheostoma olmstedi. She is also an excellent tennis player at University at Buffalo, having recently been named to the MAC 1st team! Pia is starting her masters degree at University at Buffalo in Fall 2022. |
