Casey Lab

Welcome to the Casey Lab at @UTMSI! We investigate trophic interactions with molecular techniques! 🪸🐠🧬

Had to wait until the last day to share what an amazing time I had in Brazil 🇧🇷Work trips are great, but they’re even better when you’re home. Two months filled with learning, connections, happiness, and a perfect balance of work and family 💙🐠🤿

Amazing performance by the Casey lab at the 52nd Benthic Ecology Meeting! 🧬🐠 Shoot out to @queenparrotfish @ZDelecambre for winning best presentation awards 🏆#BEM2024

[Hannah Rempel @queenparrotfish]

Blennies may provide key food web links between detritus, inverts, & algae they consume & bigger fish that eat them! I had a great time sharing my work on what stable isotopes & DNA metabarcoding can reveal about their trophic roles at the Texas Bays & Estuaries Mtg!

So happy to have been awarded the Clark Hubbs Scholarship from @TCAFS for my eDNA/eRNA chapter on the southern flounder! 🧬 And even happier to celebrate this feeling with @ScubaMelman - which is doing an incredible work on Texas blennies 🐠

New publication led by @UTMSI undergraduate superstar Ariel Wang: https://t.co/M8gCOFCP6o

We investigate Risor ruber, the tusked goby, a tiny sponge-dwelling fish that occurs from Georgia (USA) to northern Brazil.

[Naiara R-Ezpeleta @naiara_re]

And now published in Molecular Ecology!

Bioinformatics - we’re ready for you! (Or will be 😅)

[Ingrid Bunholi @ingridbunholi]

Wrapping up my last day in Newcastle with this beautiful result of an intense week of work! The first ddRAD library pool of our little goby samples is ready for sequencing! 🧬🐠 I can't express how relieved I am...

Special thanks to @Evie_Jensen for all the support!

[Casey Lab @TheCaseyLab]

Friday starting with great news!
The first Casey Lab publication is out in Environmental DNA - it's also @ingridbunholi's first PhD publication!

If you're into eDNA/eRNA or planning to dive into this field, We highly recommend checking it out 🧬🫧

[Ingrid Bunholi @ingridbunholi]

Exciting news! My first PhD paper is out in Environmental DNA! 🧬

It provides an accessible way to visualize methodological aspects and understand the current applications of eDNA/eRNA in community ecology! @jordanmcasey @NicoleRFoster @TheCaseyLab

[Dr Jordan Casey @jordanmcasey]

Two weeks remaining to apply for a graduate student position in our research group! 🦪🧬🐠

[Nicole Foster @NicoleRFoster]

FINALLY got this work published 🥳
Ever wondered if we can use dust to see were a person has travelled??

We used eDNA and geochemistry signals from dust to find this out!

Thank you to our project funders @DIP_SouthAust

Rodnyel Arosemena López and I collected our las field samples today in Bocas del Toro monitoring how local human impacts alter the ecosystem roles of #coralreef fishes! Now its time for the lab work to begin!

@UTMSI @Matt_Leray @TheCaseyLab #smithsoniantropicalresearchinstitute

[Casey Lab @TheCaseyLab]

Bioinformatics workshop in the Casey Lab today 🔥🧬

[Hannah Rempel @queenparrotfish]

¡Rodnyel Arosemena López y yo estamos trabajando duro para estudiar cómo se afectan los peces loros la degradación de los arrecifes de coral en Bocas del Toro, Panamá!

[Dr. Christopher Hemingson @thehemi65]

Great opportunity. It would be awesome to get more postdocs working on coral reefs in the Corpus Christi area!

[Ingrid Bunholi @ingridbunholi]

Last day in this wonderful place! We finished up our stay at Carie Bow Caye @smithsonian research station by contributing to the CBC Logbook - packed with amazing stories since 2010 btw!

Still pinching myself that this is my job! 3 weeks full of work and wild surprises! 🐢🦈🐠

[Casey Lab @TheCaseyLab]

They’re unstoppable! 🪸🐠

[Hannah Rempel @queenparrotfish]

Panamá bound for 6 weeks for the final field season of my PhD! 🇵🇦 🪸🐠

I’m grateful to the @smithsonian for a Predoctoral Fellowship supporting this research!
