John Janovy, Jr.
Varner Professor of Biological Sciences
University of Nebraska-Lincoln
The Janovy lab is currently focusing on problems of parasite population and community structure, host specificity, life cycle evolution, and taxonomy. We work primarily with small fish and invertebrate hosts; the parasites have been mainly apicomplexans, particularly septate gregarines, but we're getting back into studies of the parasite communities of small fish. The research group typically includes undergraduates as well as graduates; most years there are 2-3 graduate students and 2-4 undergraduates doing research in my lab. Our field sites are in western Nebraska, near the Cedar Point Biological Station north of Ogallala, NE, in the Salt Valley watershed north and west of Lincoln, and in Cass County east of Lincoln.
