Anthony Himes presents graduate research at national conference

Anthony Himes (Marine Biology, ’14) recently presented his master’s thesis research at a national conference, the annual meeting of the Society for Integrative and Comparative Biology, (SICB) in West Palm Beach, Florida.

His talk was titled "Color Morph-Specific ion Regulation in the European Green Crab, Carcinus maenas, during Oscillating Salinity Stress."

Himes is working on his research project on green crab physiology in the laboratory of Markus Frederich, Ph.D., associate professor in the Department of Marine Sciences. His work is partially funded through a fellowship from the American Physiological Society.

Himes is currently finishing his graduate research in Frederich's laboratory and plans to defend his thesis in May, as the first graduate student in the new 4+1 Marine Sciences Graduate Program.
