The Hatfield Marine Science Center’s Research Seminar Series, which had started to hold in-person events again, reverts to remote, in this case because they are bringing in a speaker from across the Pond.
On Thursday, April 21, 3:30 p.m., the speaker will be Amelia Munson, a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Glasgow. Her topic: “Growing Up is a Hot Scary Mess: Understanding how experience shapes variation and consistency in fish behavior.”
Dr. Munson is generally interested in how past experiences shape the way that an individual deals with future challenges. For her dissertation, she studied how experiences at different times in a fish's life influence behavioral variation and consistency and what that might mean for responding to environmental change. In this talk she will specifically explore how elevated temperature and predator exposure influence average activity and repeatability. She is currently starting her postdoc at the University of Glasgow in Dr. Shaun Killen's lab where she will study how elevated temperature influences physiology and social behavior in fish.
