Water from Hilo Bay came splashing up as giant waves rocked a boat holding several University of Hawaii at Hilo students on the lookout Wednesday morning. Whale! Whale! shouted Zach Taylor, a 21-year-old marine science major at UH-Hilo. Taylor and his peers have been spotting humpback whales in the bay since January as part of UH-Hilo associate professor Dr. Jason Turners Biology of Marine Mammals Lab. The course provides aspiring marine science researchers at UH-Hilo with hands-on data collection experience. On top of learning a variety of topics ranging from the evolution, systematics and biogeography of marine mammal groups to an overview of their musculoskeletal systems and dive physiology, the students in Turners class learn what it means to be in the field, seasickness and all. Wednesday mornings waves had some students sitting back clutching their stomachs, but their eyes never left the horizon where they gazed the ocean for spouts of water coming from the whales blowholes. Strapped with DSLR cameras, binoculars, timers and record sheets, the students were separated into different groups where they kept track of any whales spotted every five minutes. With only three whales being recorded Wednesday, Turner explained the humpbacks migrate to Hawaii each … Continue reading →

Courtesy of VSU Courtesy of VSU News Release: Valdosta State University VALDOSTA Dr. Joshua Reece, assistant professor of biology, received the Best Presentation Award during the 37th Annual Herpetology Conference, hosted by the University of Florida in Gainesville, Fla. April 4-5. Reece was one of 16 presenters - whose talks included topics that covered all aspects of herpetology, or the study of amphibians and reptiles, including natural history, ecology, evolution and physiology. My presentation covered how loggerhead turtles in Florida and Georgia are affected by humans building on our coasts, said Reece. The presentation included contributions from VSU undergraduates Qiana Sweet and Brianna Shepherd both freshman biology students. The talk highlighted Reeces research on climate change and its effects on sea turtles. According to the study on the loggerhead turtles, placement of this nesting places have shifted northward over the course of 20 years. This move has been a shift away from coastal development most likely in response to warming temperatures toward areas of increased erosion. The study found a decrease in the width of beaches by more than 10 feet from 1986 to 2006, with models projecting a 43 percent loss in beach area by the year 2060. The … Continue reading →

Vacant positions within Brandon Universitys department of biology are affecting its ability to offer courses popular with students, according to department chair Bill Paton. Two positions currently vacant within the universitys biology department include an associate professor position and a physiology professor position. Although the university is currently seeking a new associate professor, theres no word yet on whether the physiology professor will be replaced, Paton said. Budgetary restraints as well as a bigger focus on offering the courses students require for graduation could be why administration has yet to hire a replacement, Paton said. If you cut courses, then students cant get the selection of courses that they would like and they go elsewhere, he said. For Brandon University to compete, we have to be attracting students from other parts of Manitoba, including Winnipeg. Although physiology courses are popular with students, they arent required for graduation, he said, adding the two vacancies have also forced professors to step in to help offer the required courses. Along with physiology courses, an advanced human ecology course was also cancelled this year due to a lack of staff, he said. Its a high-demand course, clearly by students in the pre-medical major, and … Continue reading →
