Wildlife Evolution & Behavior Lab

Greg wears many hats, but is primarily a biologist, specializing in marine mammals (even though he loves birds and bones!). His real passion involves crafting some sweet beats and belting out 'today's top hits' throughout the lab. When he isn't wrangling in the Arctic, he is cracking the metaphorical whip, because that's what you have to do when you have grad students and rogue technicians.

Laura works with spatial analyses and the data entry of the lab. Her versatility allows her to help the lab in whatever it needs - be it from cartography to water filtration to drawing a new lab logo.

Jackie spends her days asking questions of organisms that are far too small to answer. She specializes in molecular ecology, studying microbial communities and the molecular interactions that shape their relationships with each other and their hosts, from single-cell phytoplankton to marine mammals. Basically, if it’s too small to see but important enough to make a difference, Jackie wants to know what it’s doing and who it’s talking to.    

Bioacoustician by day, whale whisperer by night, Jess is a true Jess of all trades. She studies the sounds of cetaceans along the Florida coast, using autonomous platforms to eavesdrop on the ocean and habitat modeling to better understand the movements of these magnificent animals.
