Nuptial gift chemistry reveals convergent evolution correlated with antagonism in mating systems of harvestmen (Arachnida, Opiliones). (Special Issue: Evolution of Mating Choice) Variation in the determinants of mating dynamics within and across five species of Leiobunum harvestmen (Arachnida: Opiliones). Qualitative and quantitative comparisons of mating behavior across multiple populations and six species of leiobunine harvestmen (Arachnida: Opiliones). Mac professors and students appear in bold. Below is a partial list of recently published work co-authored by students and professors. Working in science labs or out in the field, driven undergraduate students co-author work with faculty members on topics ranging from molecular phylogeny of mite harvestmen to surveillance and privacy in higher education. These collaborations between undergraduate students and faculty members are rare opportunities at larger institutions, making them unique to Macalester.

At Mac, students both learn from professors and work alongside them on research opportunities-often publishing their findings.
