Research Description
I am interested in amphibian ecology and conservation. My research focuses on a rare terrestrial salamander, Plethodon punctatus (Cow Knob salamander). I work with the US Forest Service and other state and federal management agencies on issues related to the ecology and conservation of this and other salamander species.
