Research Topic:
Morphology of the threespine stickleback, Gasterosteus acculeatus, after long term exposure to predators and geographic isolation
Under the advisement of Dr. David Noakes, Jeremiah Psiropoulos studies the defense morphology of the threespine stickleback using morphometric and meristic analyses. The threespine stickleback is a highly plastic species as its body shape and defense mechanisms (spines and armor) can change drastically through only a few subsequent generations.
