The Hall Lab studies ecological interactions at the individual, population, and community levels. Two species we are particularly interested in are a freshwater zooplankton and its fungal parasite. Using controlled laboratory populations, mathematics, field studies, and individual measurements, we study how these two species interact and how their interaction depends on other species, such as algal food species. We are looking for any undergraduate researchers/technicians to conduct research for pay or credit, potentially leading to independent research projects. Students may be of any class standing, any major, and laboratory hours/schedule are flexible. Work will involve a variety of tasks, some of which are animal husbandry, lab maintenance, assistance with population-level experiments, assistance with individual-level experiments, and data entry. Interested students should contact Jason Walsman (jawalsma@indiana.edu).
