The Bohenek Lab at the University of North Texas is looking to recruit 1-2 graduate students (Masters or PhD) for the fall 2023 semester. Lab research interests span the fields of ecophysiology, community ecology (especially predator-prey interactions), and ecosystem ecology. Lab interests are exclusively aquatic with a large focus on experimental mesocosms at the Water Research Field Station and the natural areas of Lewisville Lake at the University of North Texas.
[the_ad id=”2914″]
Broadly, the Bohenek Lab is interested in how the spatial and temporal heterogeneity of environmental quality, particularly stressors, affects organisms and communities. More precisely, the lab is interested in two general topics:
- how habitat quality affects community assembly and ecosystem dynamics, and
- how habitat quality affects animal physiology and development.
What we actually do: We primarily use fish, amphibians, and aquatic insects as models in field experiments to study ecophysiology (e.g., stressor effects, developmental plasticity, and endocrinology), predator-prey interactions (e.g., predation rates and predation-risk effects), community assembly (e.g., habitat selection behavior, oviposition site choice, patterns of biodiversity), and ecosystem dynamics (e.g., food webs – stable isotope analysis).
Qualifications
Undergraduate degree in biology, ecology, or a related field.
