This frameless version of the LABB home page is designed for disability access. For visitors with disabilities, our site is best navigated through the sitemap. This sitemap will link you to all pages within this site, but without having to use our multiple nested frames and navigation bars. At the bottom of each page within the site is a link to the framed LABB Home page as well as a link to the sitemap for frameless navigation. All images on this site have alternate text, and the more complex images or graphics have explanatory text pages linked through a capital D in square brackets.

At the Laboratory for Applied Biotelemetry & Biotechnology, we focus on the development and application of the next generation of modern research tools and technology to pursue specific questions and hypotheses related to basic science, conservation and management of marine living resources.

Current projects are tailored towards the assessment of endangered species stocks and crucial life history parameters, determining fisheries - endangered stock interactions and competitions, as well as developing new experimental paradigms and technologies to address these issues.

Focus points of our work include foraging strategies of diving animals, physiological and ontogenetic constraints and their impact on behavioral plasticity, as well as population dynamics and responses to environmental variability. Additional LABB activities include the development and refinement of electronic telemetry devices and biophysical sensors, as well as novel analytical software tools.
