Ramicrusta adjoulanensis was named after Adjoulan Point, which is located at the mouth of Talo’fo’fo Bay. Tom Schils is a professor at the UOG Marine Laboratory whose research interests focus on the unique biodiversity and ecology of tropical seaweeds in the Mariana Islands. Matthew Mills is a research associate at
Christopher Lobban, a University of Guam professor emeritus of biology, has discovered a new species of diatom from the Marshall Islands. The screen of the SEM shows the tilted view of the new species. The new species of diatom, Licmophora complanata, was named for its flattened cell wall. According to
Jeffrey Centino, research computing facilitator at EPSCoR -GECCO says the Open Science Grid will improve the program’s computational and data analysis capabilities. As research opportunities continue to expand for the University of Guam EPSCoR- Guam Ecosystems Collaboratorium for Corals and Oceans (GECCO) program, so does the need to improve its cyberinfrastructure to keep up with the additional
UOG alumnus Jordan Gault wrote “Lineage-specific variation in the evolutionary stability of coral photosymbiosis,” which was published in September 2021 by the journal Science Advances. A study by University of Guam researchers has examined the evolutionary stability of photosymbiosis in scleractinian corals. The study, which was funded by the university’s National
A report that brought together researchers all over the United States highlights the need to address gaps in data recording to improve biological diversity monitoring across the globe. Justin Berg, a University of Guam EPSCoR graduate research assistant, collaborated with other researchers to produce the paper, “Poor data stewardship will hinder global genetic diversity surveillance.” PNAS published the brief report in July this year. For the study, the researchers
