Presenting Dr. Jacobs (and what did the fish say when it bumped into a wall?)…

Greg Jacobs successfully defended his dissertation this week in the Odum School of Ecology at UGa (Population-level consequences of environmental variation for migratory fishes).  Greg's research examined migratory dynamics in two systems: sturgeon in the Niagara river and Chinook in the Middle Fork Salmon River.  Greg's studies in both studies relied on sophisticated modeling approaches to address questions that can inform management of these threatened species.  Greg was co-advised by Seth Wenger (who took the lead on this advising duo), and Greg also benefited from two outstanding committee members, Mary Freeman and Krista Capps, as well as the great colleagues in the Wenger and Osenberg lab groups.  Greg has already started his post-doc in Cornell (with Pete McIntyre) and we have missed him greatly, but wish him continued success and joy.  Congratulations Greg (on the defense, the post-doc, the new house, and the great fam)!
