| Randy Singer (M.S.) |
I am interested in fish taxonomy and biogeography. I am doing graduate work on Southeast Asian loaches, with a focus on systematic relationships. I work on Acanthocobitis (Teleostei: Nemacheilidae). |
| Zachary Martin (M.S.) |
My research interest is in systematics and ecology of freshwater fishes. Most recently, I've been working with SE Asian fishes, specifically nemacheilid loaches. I have worked on Neonoemacheilus taxonomy and spent much time pondering the similarities in nemacheilid loaches with the North American darters (Etheostomatinae); the parallels are fascinating. |
| Zachary Randall (M.S.) |
I am interested in the systematics and evolutionary history of the hill-stream loach family Balitoridae. |
| Auburn University: |
Research Interests: |
| Shobnom Ferdous (Ph.D) |
Description of a new loach of the genus Lepidocephalichthys (Cypriniformes: Cobitidae) from Bangladesh (with L.M. Page) |
| Malorie Hayes (Ph.D.) |
Topic undecided, but will be working with African cyprinid phylogeny taxonomy. |
| C. Keith Ray (Ph.D.) |
Systematic and Taxonomic Investigations of the Riffle Daces, Rhinichthys Agassiz (Cypriniformes: Cyprinidae). Keith will examine broad phylogenetic patterns in Rhinichtys and revise the R. atratulus species complex. |
| Carla Stout (Ph.D.) |
Phylogenomics of the Cyprinidae. Carla will use a phylogenomic approach using transcriptome sequencing to examine the relationships of major cyprinid groups. |
| Milton Tan (Ph.D.) |
The Evolution of Miniaturization in Danionins (Danioninae: Cypriniformes). Milton will examine the genomes of miniaturized danionins to find convergent genes ties to miniaturization and elucidate a phylogeny of the group based on phylogenomic techniques. |
| Paul Wieczorek (M.S.) |
Evolutionary ecology of Alabama Minnows. Paul will examine changes in the shapes of minnows throughout the Mobile River Basin to examine how communities are structured. |
