RummerLab
Pioneering research on marine life adaptation in changing environments
Our Mission
RummerLab, led by Dr. Jodie Rummer, focuses on researching the physiological processes and adaptations of aquatic animals in response to environmental stressors. Our research aims to understand how these organisms cope with changing conditions and contribute to the conservation of aquatic ecosystems.
Protecting our reefs is paramount for ensuring the survival of sharks. The health of these ecosystems is intricately linked.
Seeing the connection firsthand transforms our understanding and appreciation for marine conservation.
Healthy Sharks
Research Areas
Our main research focus lies in the ecological, evolutionary, and conservation physiology in fishes.
Environmental Stressors
Investigating physiological responses of marine life to environmental stressors including temperature, pH, and oxygen levels.
Novel Protocols
Developing innovative in vitro and in vivo protocols to study marine organisms with minimal invasiveness.
Climate Change Adaptation
Studying how marine species adapt to climate change and ocean acidification over time.
Conservation
Working to protect and preserve aquatic species and their ecosystems through evidence-based conservation strategies.
