Aguirre Laboratory (CSH-019)
Aguirre Laboratory is documented in the DePaul Resource Map as center at DePaul University, College of Science and Health, Biological Sciences, Lincoln Park (McGowan South 221A). Documentation is partial or indirect, so the listing is treated as likely current. Faculty evolutionary biology and ichthyology research laboratory studying population-level diversification in fishes using geometric morphometrics, molecular markers, and field/ecological methods. Projects span Neotropical freshwater systems, habitat transformation, and axial-skeleton/body-form evolution. Access: 🟡 Yellow — Needs an appointment or affiliation.
