Thankyou Katie, goodbye and good luck!

Katie-Duryea

Posted by Erik Svensson 

Some might already know and others have noticed that one of EXEB's members have left us after two years as a postdoc in my lab: Katie Duryea has now finished her two-year NSF-funded postdoc to take up a  position at Great Basin College in Nevada. We wish Katie good luck in her new job, although it is of course always a bit sad when a close co-worker leaves us. However, Katie has indicated that she might come back for field work and continue our past and ongoing collaborations around sexual conflict and mating polymorphism in the damselfly Ischnura elegans, and we are certainly looking forward to that, as well as the exciting research publications that will come out from her past two years in Lund.

During her time in Lund, Katie has also been an integral part of the intellectual and scientific research environment of both my group and EXEB. I therefore think I am speaking for several of us in EXEB when I say that we will miss you very much. Thanks for these wonderful two years Katie!

Talk by Katie Duryea about sexual selection in Anolis-lizards


Posted by Erik Svensson

This Tuesday (October 7 2014, note changed time!) we will listen to our new postdoc Katie Duryea, who will give an informal 1-hour summary of her PhD-thesis research on Anolis-lizards, which was performed at Dartmouth College in the laboratory of Ryan Calsbeek. Feel free to also invite some other folks outside our core lab-group, as Jessica and Tobias are away this Tuesday. Also, note that we will start at 09.00, rather than at 10.30, as we use to.  Here is the title:

"Sexual selection and sexual conflict in Anolis lizards: from molecules to populations."

And here is a short description by Katie about the content of her talk:  
  
"I will cover the  effects of male mating order on sperm precedence, the transcriptomics and molecular evolution of genes expressed during mating in female anoles, and a population study of sexual antagonism on male and female body size in anoles."

When: Tuesday October 7 at 09.00!!!
Where: "Argumentet", 2nd floor, Ecology Building 

Welcome!
