Michael (Michi) Tobler

Michi graduated with a Ph. D. from the University of Zürich in 2008 and spent over two years as a postdoctoral researcher at Texas A&M University. He is interested in a wide range of questions including the evolution and maintenance of sex, genital evolution and sexual conflict in livebearing fishes, as well as geographic variation and systematics of livebearing fishes and cichlids in Central America. His current research predominantly focuses on the interplay of adaptation and speciation in extremophile fishes.

Graduate students

Danielle Alba (M.S. student)

Danielle received her Bachelor's degree from the University of Wisconsin Eau Clair. She is interested in Fisheries and Wildlife Management, Conservation, and Animal Behavior.

Reid Morehouse (Ph.D. student)

Reid received his Master's degree in Zoology from Oklahoma State University. He is interested in a wide range of topics within the aquatic world. Topics include invasive species, non-game fishes, macro-invertebrates, trophic interactions, ecology, and evolution. His current research focuses on the ecology and evolution of North American crayfish with emphasis on testing relationships between morphology and ecology to understand adaptive radiation of crayfish.

Alumni

Isabelle Gemmer

Isabelle was a visiting intern in our lab and is currently a student at the University of Landau (Germany). Her internship in our lab was made possible by a RISE scholarship of the German Exchange Service. Isabelle was involved in various projects, including a study of geographic variation in fishes of the genus Heterandria.
