Trina notes: I am broadly interested in the #evolutionary pressures that shape animal #acoustic signaling, such as mate selection, within-individual variation, and environmental contexts. I work with several species of chorus #frogs and treefrogs around Knoxville, utilizing acoustic recordings and female phonotaxis behaviors as a measure of female preference.

We will be featuring our #SICB student awardees weekly
