Stomatopod

Cool looking red shrimp

Roy Caldwell, Professor of Integrative Biology, studies the behavior and sensory ecology of these pugnacious denizens of the reef. Stomatopods, or mantis shrimps as they are commonly known, are marine predators found in most of the world's shallow seas.

VLSB History

Line drawing of VLSB

The Valley Life Sciences Building (VLSB) was initially constructed in 1930 and was renovated approximately 60 years later as one of four building projects (Life Sciences Building, Life Sciences Addition, Genetics & Plant Biology Building, North West Animal Facility) undertaken to revitalize the biological sciences on the UC Berkeley Campus.

Lupinus Nanus

Field of blue flowers

Sky lupines (Lupinus nanus) are a common spring resident of California annual grasslands. Lupines add nitrogen to the soil through their mutually beneficial symbiosis with root-nodulating rhizobium bacteria.

Poison Octopus

Octopus with blue rings

Female Greater Blue-Ringed octopus, Hapalochlaena lunulata is carrying her eggs. Blue-rings are known for their toxin (tetrodotoxin) and can be turned on or off as a warning. This tiny octopus (the size of a grape) contains enough TTX to kill several adult humans.

Field Sites

Student with bones at field site in Ecuador

Emily Lindsey working in her field site in SW Ecuador. Emily is studying the extinction of the Pleistocene megafauna. The bones pictured are a femur, tibia-fibula and other bone fragments of giant sloths ~10,000-40,000 years old.

Yellow-eyed Ensatina

Orange salamander with yellow eyes

This salamander (Ensatina eschscholtzii xanthoptica), with orange skin and bright yellow eyes, is a mimic of the Western Newt (Taricha sp.), a poisonous species that lives in the same habitat with Ensatina around the Bay Area.

Marine Ecology

Student snorkeling by Great Barrier Reef

IB Grad Student Maya deVries snorkeling at Lizard Island on the Great Barrier Reef, Australia in search of mantis shrimp. Over 30 species of mantis shrimp call Lizard Island home, which makes this place great for studying mantis shrimp feeding behavior.
