After the outstanding visit by Dr. Dan Lundberg (Gallaudet University for the Deaf & Hearing Impaired, Washington, DC) in fall 2017, Dr. Tisha King-Heiden (University of Wisconsin, La Crosse) and her graduate student Logan Keding have been sharing laboratory space with us this summer. Her research on the impacts of liver pathology on vitellogenin expression in fish matches well with our own investigations into the effects of contaminants of emerging concern, some of which may have hepatotoxic effects.Schoenfuss L.

With the help from collaborators from Clemson University, the University of Minnesota, and support from the Division of Aquatic Resources (Department of Land and Natural Resources, State of Hawai'i) another successful field season was completed.

This field season was used to answer questions regarding the physiology of fish muscle that allows for the climbing of tall waterfalls; the ability of prey from different Hawaiian islands to escape predators; and the anatomy of the jaw apparatus as it relates to feeding and climbing in Sicyopterus stimpsoni.Schoenfuss L.

For part of the field work, he was accompanied by Jerry Leonard, who was able to gather data for a soon to be submitted manuscript on trail following behavior in Hawaiian stream gobies.<br /><br />In March, most of the lab travelled to Lake Geneva Wisconsin for the annual meeting of the Midwest Chapter of the Society for Environmental Toxicology & Chemistry (picture above). Six oral presentations were given by lab members (four student presentations, Dr. Schoenfuss, Steve Bartell) and April Dammann was awarded runner-up for best oral presentation at the meeting.<br /><br />Immediately following the MW SETAC conference, Dr. Schoenfuss presented the keynote address at the MN Wastewater Conference, March 25, 2011 in Brooklyn Park, MN. The four graduate students (Beth Poganski, Jeff Miller, Zach Jorgenson, and April Dammann) also presented. Further seminar presentations by Dr. Schoenfuss at St. Cloud State University and Normandale Community College ("slice of Life" lecture series) followed.<br /><br />April and May saw three defense presentations by graduate students from the Aquatic Toxicology Laboratory: Jeff Miller defended on April 11, 2011; Zach Jorgenson on April 18, 2011; and Beth Poganski on May 2, 2011.<br /><br />Another spring dissection trip will bring many lab members together one last time in Chicago in early May.<br /><br />As many of our students are graduating, two new graduate student recruits will join the lab this summer to carry on research on the effects on contaminants of emerging concerns.Schoenfuss L.
