Another new publication from our PI, Dr. Rene Martin @lampichthys! This study investigates the variation in fluorescence emission spectra across 18 distinct marine teleost families. It finds biofluorescence in marine teleosts to be more variable tha
Madison and Lillie have been hard at work in the field to catch and sample many silver carp. Sometimes, they also find some nice surprises like the blue catfish in the first picture! Great job Madison and Lillie! All research conducted with necess
We had so much fun leading the 4-H Stem Odyssey Camp today! This camp is for high schoolers all over the country interested in learning more about STEM careers. The campers take tours around the different labs on UNL’s campus to learn the diff
This week in the lab, we learned how to do histology! Madison is using histology for her project to closely examine silver carp eggs. In order to do this, she collects egg samples in the field and then brings them back to the lab. These eggs are cle
Another paper from the LAMP Lab! The paper investigates the evolution of biofluorescence in marine teleosts. This research found that the majority of biofluorescent fish are associated with coral reefs and evolve biofluorescence faster than non-reef
The Lamp Lab and the UNL Human Dimensions Lab had an amazing time at a writing retreat this past week at Cedar Point Biological Field Station @cpbs_unl. We learned ways to enhance our productivity while writing, how to set SMART writing goals, and ho
Madison has been starting to heavily sample for her invasive bigheaded carp study! She has been heading out twice a week to start collecting her samples to get information on the reproduction of these invasive species. Go Madison @runawaybabycx! #
A few weeks ago, The Lamp Lab joined the Aquatic Biodiversity & Conservation Lab on campus for the WOMEN (Wonder, Opportunity, Mentorship, Empowerment and Networking) in Science Conference. This two-day event brings high school students from acro
Congratulations to LAMP Lab member @baylie_amberr for winning the @unlincoln @unlgradstudies Graduate Student Excellence in Mentoring Award! In our lab, we do lots of research but we also like to emphasize the other aspects that go into research, s
The LAMP Lab members all have birthdays within a little over a week of each other, so we went out to celebrate by making some new creations! We all went for the home use creations with some measuring cups, a spoon rest, and a mug! There were defini
The annual sampling for Northern pike by Nebraska Game and Parks @negameandparks to estimate the population size in Flanagan Lake was last week. Lamp Lab member, Madison @runawaybabycx, joined the crew for two days to help! Northern pike move up to
Please join us in welcoming our new undergraduate lab member, Lillie Albers @lilliealbers! Lillie is a junior Fisheries and Wildlife major with a focus in conservation biology. She has a minor in Environmental Studies, as well as a minor in Water Sc
Congrats to all of our wonderful lab members who presented this week at the Nebraska Chapter of the @americanfisheries Society meeting! Dr. Martin @lampichthys got to share some of the work that she did for her postdoc, and Madison @runawaybabycx and
🚨 NEW PUBLICATION ALERT! 🚨 The Lamp Lab PI, Dr. Rene Martin @lampichthys, had a publication released today from some of her postdoc work. This study used museum specimens to investigate evidence of biofluorescence in birds-of-paradise. They found
