We have ongoing projects to survey the diversity of macroinvertebrates and electric fish from various streams throughout Gabon, West-Central Africa.

Electric organs have evolved from skeletal muscle or skeletal-muscle precursors more than six times within vertebrates. What are the genetic and transcriptional changes needed to evolve electric organs?

We build tools to enable genotype-to-phenotype studies in weakly electric fish. Check out all of our datasets and tools at our sister site!

What are the proximate and ultimate causes of electric signal evolution within mormyrid electric fish?

Our newest set of projects focuses on the unusual reproduction of mormyrid fish, and their mechanisms of sex determination. Stay tuned!
