Anthony Cornett (MS, Dec 2006)
Anthony studied the ecomorphology of the electrosensory system in sharks. He examined the number, distribution and structure of the electroreceptors in a variety of taxa to determine how the electrosensory system is employed by sharks in different habitats with different foraging behaviors. Anthony is currently teaching at Valencia Community College in Kissimmee. |

David McGowan
(MS, Dec 2007)
Dave studied the effects of salinity on the electroreceptive capabilities of euryhaline elasmobranchs. His experiments determined that stingrays can effectively employ their electrosensory system for prey detection in marine, brackish and freshwater habitats. Dave is currently employed with the Florida Fish & Wildlife Conservation Commission. |

Jodi Miedema (BS, May 2007)
Jodi supervised the animal husbandry and organized the lab clerical work. She also assisted with electrophysiology experiments on visual and olfactory studies. She is currently employed with the Florida Fish & Wildlife Conservation Commission. |
