Photo: Frog UAZ Herpetology Photo-Voucher Initiative: Reptiles and Amphibians of the Sonoran Desert are a strength of the University of Arizona Museum of Natural History. Our current initiative is to supplement the physical specimens with photo vouchers and data from Sonora, Mexico. (...more info) Image © 2004 Kevin Bonine

Photo: Bumblebee Social Insect Lab: Social insects, such as bumble bees or ants, communicate and coordinate with their nestmates in a variety of ways. Shown here is a bee foraging in the lab on an artificial food source; after this, she will probably recruit other bees.

Michod Lab: The Michod Lab investigates questions of individuality, cooperation and conflict between evolving individuals, the evolution of sex, programmed cell death, fitness, mutation and multi-level selection using volvocalean green algae as a model organism. Shown is a female individual carrying eight "babies."

Photo: schematic of the reproductive tract of a female fruit fly Birky Lab: Although these microscopic freshwater invertebrates have not had sex for 90 million years, they have undergone extensive speciation. (...more info)

Photo: schematic of the reproductive tract of a female fruit fly Enquist Lab: SALVIAS is a network of ecologists, conservation biologists, biogeographers, botanists and computer programmers interested in understanding large scale patterns of plant diversity (...more info)

Photo of tropical flower, genus Clusia Bronstein Lab: Do the movements of frugivorous birds influence fruit traits and the fruiting phenology of the plants whose seeds they disperse? (...more info)

Photo of tropical flower, genus Clusia Huxman Lab: What is the role of climate variability and vegetation change in controlling
biogeochemical cycling and water-use in arid and semi-arid ecosystems?

Photo: schematic of the reproductive tract of a female fruit fly Papaj Lab: The Papaj Lab studies the reproductive dynamics of insects in the context of coevolved interactions. Insect learning is a common focus of our work. Shown is an array of paper targets used to assay butterfly color learning. (...more info)

Barker Lab: The Barker Lab studies the evolutionary genomics of plants. Polyploidy and hybridization are two evolutionary phenomena that leave enduring signatures in plant genomes and may have significant consequences for plant diversity. (...more info)

Duckworth Lab: Evolutionary ecology of traits involved in species interactions and range dynamics using approaches that intergrate quantitative genetics, physiology, and long-term ecological experiments. (...more info)
