To approach ecological questions regarding persistence of species, understanding constraints imposed by the current physiology of a species is an important piece to the evolutionary puzzle, and, being an ecologist by training, my molecular skills to investigate physiological mechanisms were limited. It was under this premise that I applied for support from the g2p2pop RCN to support a Laboratory Exchange in Prof. Takashi Yoshimura’s lab in the Institute for Transformative Biomolecules at Nagoya University, Japan. My objective for the… Read more
Jordyn Upton’s Lab Exchange at Brookfield Conservation Park in South Australia
The southern hairy-nosed wombat is a keystone species, South Australia’s faunal emblem, and was listed as Near-Threatened in 2016 (IUCN Red List). Because of this new listing, Dr. Faith Walker, my Primary Investigator (PI) at Northern Arizona University (NAU), renewed her interest in the burrowing marsupial. In 2017, she and a field team headed to Brookfield Conservation Park (BCP)… Read more
