Ethan is a third year student in the PNB program who joined the lab in January 2024. He worked on the juvenile round goby team with PhD student Sina Zarini. He helped score behavioral videos and used image J to quantify ontogenetic changes in morphology related to movement ecology and dispersal of the round goby. Outside of the lab, Ethan enjoys listening to music, playing basketball, and spending time with his girlfriend, friends, and family.

Andrew joined the lab  in January 2024 as a 2QQ3 project student. He is an undergrad student in the Biology and PNB program. Initially he worked with Ainsley Harrison Weiss to study female mate choice in the plainfin midshipman. Andrew returned to ABEL for his third year where he worked with Sina Zarini (on ontogenetic changes in morphology in the round goby) and with Eli Latchem and Catalina Costiuc (examining the impacts of stress on social learning) . This summer (2025) Andrew is a Mitac research intern working on our Canada-France collaborative grant adaptation and plasticity along invasion gradients.  In his free time Andrew enjoys reading, playing videogames, and playing tennis.   

Yana is a 2^nd year Honours Life Sciences student pursuing a minor in Psychology. She joined ABEL as a Lifesci 3RP3 project student in September of 2023, working with PhD student Hannah Anderson to study the behavioural impact of turbidity on Zebrafish. Yana learned to score behaviours of zebrafish. Yana will continue in the lab this term (winter 2024) working alongside PhD student, Sina Zarini. She will enumerate and identify zooplankton from Hamilton Harbour. In her free time, Yana enjoys hiking, reading books, learning to code, and spending time with family and friends”.
