This study is part of our fellowship program, established to support early career research scientists. The Fellow will use advanced genetic technologies to discover causative agents of severe disease and high mortality in yellow-eyed penguin chicks.

Researchers will establish appropriate dosing for the commonly used pain medication meloxicam for Pacific harbor seals and California sea lions.

Researchers will investigate the validity of using hemolymph analysis (similar to blood analysis in mammals) to assist in die-off investigations of freshwater mussels in Tennessee’s Cinch River.

Researchers will conduct a clinical trial evaluating an adjunct treatment for koalas receiving antimicrobial therapy for chlamydia, a wide-spread and potentially fatal disease in this species.

Researchers will assess the prevalence of hybrid elephants (naturally interbred African forest and savanna elephants) and how their health compares to their parental species.

Researchers will investigate the causes, consequences of and solutions for hatching failure, poor female health and mortality as well as genetic threats in the sihek, also known as the Guam kingfisher

Researchers will investigate the role of a newly described intestinal parasite on the decline and increased extinction risk of the San Miguel island fox.
