Arthropod acoustic communication is a primary focus at the Patek Lab. Here you can find our acoustically oriented research projects along with sounds and video of spiny lobsters (Palinuridae) and mantis shrimp (Stomatopoda).
Filimon Kiros
As a biology-major sophomore, I joined this lab for the purpose of getting a non-lecture biology experience. Having come from a land-locked country three years ago, the mantis shrimp I'll be taking care of seem to notice there's a new guy in their territory. I'm also doing research in a Bio-chem lab on Arabidopsis plants. My goal is to understand life better, and under the guidance of my senior patek-lab members, the possibility starts here. True enough, in just a few days of my membership, I already feel a part of something big.
Always Looking Forward...
