Kathleen Reinsel
Visiting Professor in NSOE CSSP Div/MLab All
I will be at the Marine Lab for summer 2022 and will stay for a sabbatical in Fall 2022. I am working on a research project with Dr. Jim Welch (also of Wittenberg) and Dr. Richard Forward that looks at selective settlement of larvae of three species of fiddler crabs in the Newport River Estuary. We use molecular techniques to identify field-caught larvae to species, in order to answer questions of how the three species become separated in their adult habitats.
In my 'regular' life, I am a faculty member in the Department of Biological and Environmental Sciences at Wittenberg University in Springfield, Ohio, where I am the director of the Marine Science Program. I travel to the Marine Lab each semester with class field trips from Wittenberg and advise interns with the REU program during the summer. My other research interests include foraging ecology of invertebrates and feeding sensitivities of crustaceans.
