Brian's research trip to the Pantanal this October has been highlighted on the DRCLAS site!

"Bringing together the fields of biology and music, the expedition revolved around collecting sounds to study the scientific and artistic dimensions of the Pantanal. By capturing the soundscape of this unique environment, the researchers aimed to discover singular and inspiring sounds that can help to map animal behavior and the intrinsic dynamics between species and their habitat, providing a broader study of the possible effects of the biome's deterioration process on...

The Farrell Lab warmly welcomes Paulino Siqueira Ribeiro to the lab!

Paulino joins us as a Biodiversity Fellow. Throughout his professional career, he has undertaken research involving aspects of mosquito biology, ecology, and behavior of this group. Currently, his research is related to aspects of morphological taxonomy, systematics, and molecular biology of wild mosquito species of genus Wyeomyia, subgenus Decamyia.

His main focus while in the Farrell Lab will be: "Taxonomic and phylogenetic revision of the subgenus...
