Event Date
Dr. Melina Acosta, Yi-Ting Fang, & Dr. Hannah Justen, Fischer Lab, Neurobiology, Physiology and Behavior, University of California, Davis, presents “Tadpole fight club: Mechanisms of juvenile aggression”.
This seminar will be given by three members of the Fischer lab (NPB) that work on juvenile aggression in poison frogs. Dr. Melina Acosta who has completed her Ph.D. at the University of California, Riverside studying the neurobiological mechanisms underlying the onset of paternal behavior in the biparental California mouse. Yi-Ting Fang, a second-year graduate student in animal behavior, who studied the evolution and neuro-transcriptomics and gut-brain axis mechanisms of parental care in poison frogs. Dr. Hannah Justen who has completed her Ph.D. at Texas A&M University focusing on the genomic basis of migratory behavior in a hybrid zone between songbirds.
