Integrative Biology (Ph.D.) Spotlight

Marley's research aims to determine the variability of the phytoplankton community in Great Bay and to understand how this variation can impact the food web. 

Sandesh Lamichhane's research focuses the effect of acoustic and structural forest habitat quality on moose occupancy in New Hampshire.

Camryn's work aims to enhance understanding of Fibrous Dysplasia (FD), a rare genetic disorder that affects the bones and leads to skeletal deformities, fractures, and, most commonly, chronic pain.

Faith Frings is interested in developing methods for increasing quantitative literacy in biology courses at the undergraduate level.

Valerie Eddington is studying the integration of acoustic and quantitative ecology to investigate new methods for monitoring dense populations of animals.

Daniel Mitchell studies the persistence and retention of undergraduate biology students with a special focus on high-impact learning practices, supports/barriers, and transfer students.

Easton White is an assistant professor in COLSA’s department of biological sciences, and he runs the Quantitative Marine Ecology Lab.

Wyatt Shell recently earned his doctoral degree in integrative and organismal biology following the successful defense of his dissertation, "Behavioral and genetic mechanisms of social evolution: Insights from incipiently and facultatively social bees."

The Department of Biological Sciences wants to make sure all its 2020 graduates know that the faculty are thinking of them as they celebrate their achievements and look forward to what's next.

In May, botanical sciences professor Alan (Al) Baker retired after 47 years at UNH, and the department of biological sciences threw Baker a retirement party that included a surprise guest.

Wyatt Shell ‘20G is poised to have a big impact on our understanding of bee sociality.
