The Luttbeg lab (luttbegslab <http://luttbegslab.okstate.edu/Home.htm>) at Oklahoma State University has an opening for a PhD or Master's student. As a lab we focus on questions of how information and other state variables affect the behavior and morphology of individuals, and what consequences that has for ecological systems. We combine using theoretical models to clarify our thinking and propose hypotheses with empirical experiments to test those ideas. Students can work in any mixture of theoretical and empirical approaches. Much of our work focuses on predator-prey interactions, plasticity, and transgenerational or maternal effects.
The Department of Integrative Biology (integrativebiology <http://integrativebiology.okstate.edu/>) is composed of 24 faculty and 50+ graduate students working on questions of ecology, behavior, evolution, and ecotoxicology. The department has available teaching assistant positions and associated tuition waivers. If you are interested contact me by email and we can discuss are related research interests. -- Dr. Barney Luttbeg Oklahoma State University Department of Integrative Biology 421 Life Sciences West lutt...@okstate.edu (405) 744-1717
