Welcome Lucas and Nate!

A warm welcome to Lucas Florsheim and Nate Neal - the most recent PhD students to join the Taylor Lab! 

Lucas plans to expand on work investigating hybridization between black-capped and mountains chickadees using broader geographic sampling, temporal sampling using museum specimens, and transcriptomics.

Nate, who is co-advised with Dr. Jingchun Li, will explore the genetic basis of mantle lure polymorphism in the freshwater mussel Lampsilis fasciola.
