Congratulations to NDSEG Fellow Zac Tobias!

Zachary (Zac) Tobias has recently been awarded a National Defense Science and Engineering Graduate Fellowship. Zac proposal was titled “”Evolutionary dynamics of a widespread invasive fouling species.” Through his research, he will explore the genomic and physiological consequences of admixture/interbreeding between multiple introductions of a non-native tunicate (Botryllus schlosseri). He seeks to understand how these processes they may underlie evolutionary adaptation to cold temperatures during the northward spread of this tunicate.

Congratulations Zac!
