Dr. Anderson has been active in ecological research since 1995, where he started as an laboratory assistant in the College of Natural Resources at UC Berkeley. Dr. Anderson has a strong interest in the application of spatial data analysis and geospatial technology, and teaches courses on ecology, evolution, biostatistics, and spatial data analysis.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_65\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.valdosta.edu\/andersonlab\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/67\/2015\/07\/gators.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-65\" class=\"wp-image-65 size-medium\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.valdosta.edu\/andersonlab\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/67\/2015\/07\/gators-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"gators\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.valdosta.edu\/andersonlab\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/67\/2015\/07\/gators-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.valdosta.edu\/andersonlab\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/67\/2015\/07\/gators-644x483.jpg 644w, https:\/\/blog.valdosta.edu\/andersonlab\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/67\/2015\/07\/gators.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-65\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Corey Devin Anderson and Devin Noble Anderson (DNA), and pond full of alligators.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">Masters of Science students<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Current:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Josh Brown<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Spanish moss can reproduce sexually by seed or asexually by vegetative breakage. However, the relative frequency of different modes of reproduction cannot be easily determined because genets cannot be identified visually. Hence, we don&#8217;t know how much of the Spanish moss on the tree is due to colonization by seeds versus how much is associated with vegetative breakage.\n<ul>\n<li>Hypervariable DNA-based markers could easily address this question, but have never been developed for Spanish moss. Josh is finishing some work that he started as an undergraduate, where explored\u00a0 the utility of cross species transference of microsatellite DNA primer sets developed for other bromeliads to Spanish moss. For his thesis, Josh is genotyping some of these loci and working on an empirical review on population genetic studies of epiphytes.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.valdosta.edu\/andersonlab\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/67\/2018\/04\/josh.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-209\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.valdosta.edu\/andersonlab\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/67\/2018\/04\/josh-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.valdosta.edu\/andersonlab\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/67\/2018\/04\/josh-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.valdosta.edu\/andersonlab\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/67\/2018\/04\/josh-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/blog.valdosta.edu\/andersonlab\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/67\/2018\/04\/josh.jpg 370w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Blake Lamb<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Blake joined the Anderson lab in spring 2019.
