Welcome to the website for the Corn Lab at Washington State University. We are evolutionary biologists, biomechanists, and fish enthusiasts. The lab group studies how the different ways that animals interact with their physical environment can result in different evolutionary patterns over multi-million-year scales. We often use the evolution of prey capture, typically in fishes, as a study system.
In addition to our research on the biology of fishes, the Corn Lab works closely with the Conner Museum of Vertebrates, the Inland Northwest's largest vertebrate collection! If you are a researcher, consider the Conner's scientific collection for your vertebrate specimen needs. If you are in Pullman, visit our free public displays, open every day from 8am - 5pm, on the first floor of Abelson Hall on the WSU campus. We would love to have you visit!
