Thank you to Kalisa Vasquez-Minas who was an intern this summer as part of the Yale Peabody Museum Internship Program. As a part of this internship, Kalisa helped CT scan and segment skeletal elements in woodland salamanders (Genus:Plethodon) ​.

The research conducted by Nathalie Alomar and Brooke L. Bodensteiner on Caribbean Anoles has been published in Integrative and Comparative Biology. Check it out!  https://doi.org/10.1093/icb/icae030

Saúl Domínguez-Guerrero published his postdoc work with the Muñoz lab in Nature Communications. Check it out!  ​https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-024-49464-x

Congratulations to Julia for passing her prospectives and advancing into candidacy! Congrats, Candidate Julia! Julia will be working on providing a mechanistic framework for the relationship between microhabitat use and the evolution of macro climatic niches in anurans.

Congratulations to PhD candidate, Brooke Bodensteiner, who won grants from the Yale Institute for Biospheric Studies and the MacMillan Center to support her dissertation research! Brooke will be working on the thermal physiology and evolution of Australian reptiles.

The Muñoz Lab in the Department of Ecology & Evolutionary Biology at Yale University is seeking to hire a postdoctoral researcher. The postdoc will be hired under the auspices of a NSF grant to study the ecophysiology, spatial ecology, and evolution of lungless salamanders. This is a collaborative project with Dr. Eric Riddell (Iowa State University). We are open to different types of backgrounds and interests including, but not limited to: amphibian ecology and evolution, ecophysiology, spatial ecology and biophysical modeling, and comparative phylogenetics. The position is for 2-3 years, with annual reappointment. See full ad, with link for the application, on the "Opportunities" tab on this website.
