Current Research: |
My research focuses primarily on basic amphibian ecology and the impacts of forest management practices on amphibian communities. The long-range goals of my research are:- To determine the impacts of various forest management practices (including fragmentation) on amphibians
- To determine likely consequences of climatic changes on amphibians
- To develop guidelines for managing southern forest ecosystems to ensure healthy populations of amphibians
- To develop and evaluate alternative monitoring protocols for amphibians
- To develop and validate predictive habitat relationship models for amphibians.

Collaborative Research: |
- The occurrence and impacts of the pathogenic fungus, Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis, on amphibian populations in the West Gulf Coastal Plain (Cooperative with Dr. Matt Kwiatkowski, Stephen F. Austin State University)
- Top-down effects on aquatic community composition and trophic interactions (Cooperative with Dr. Volker Rudolf, Rice University)
- Rethinking paradigms in larval anuran communities: the roles of larval development, predator-prey interactions, and phylogeny in determining community composition (Cooperative with Dr. Lee Fitzgerald, Texas A&M University)
