Sound in the Sea

Arthropod acoustic communication is a primary focus at the Patek Lab. Here you can find our acoustically oriented research projects along with sounds and video of spiny lobsters (Palinuridae) and mantis shrimp (Stomatopoda).
Mechanics of Movement

The Patek Lab studies the mechanics of animal motion in both mantis shrimp (Stomatopoda) and ants. Here you can find these research projects along with images, sounds, and video of animal movement.
