RESEARCH EXPERIENCE
Spring ’11 – Present Ecologist with the United States Geological Survey, working at the U.S. Geological Survey Wetland and Aquatic Research Center under research ecologist Hardin Waddle, principal investigator for the Amphibian Research and Monitoring Initiative (ARMI).
·
Conducted nighttime visual
encounter and calling surveys for frogs in the Atchafalaya Basin and Big
Thicket National Preserve
· Examined the population
ecology of mole salamanders in Kisatchie National Forest
· Examined impacts of road
mortality of Spotted Salamanders on population viability along the Natchez
Trace Parkway in Mississippi through nighttime surveys
· Sampled amphibian
populations in our 5-state ARMI region for the presence of known harmful fungal
pathogens
· Investigated Gulf Coast
Waterdog populations statewide in Louisiana incorporating a disease and
genetics component
· Described first case of snake
fungal disease in Louisiana and followed up with 3-yr study examining the disease
and its impacts on snake populations in Louisiana
· Documented the first established
populations of the exotic invasive Cuban Treefrogs in southeast Louisiana and
are continuing various lines of research, including disease and genetics, into this
novel population
· Conducted a
capture-mark-recapture of treefrogs using PVC pipe refugia to better understand
their survival at Bayou Teche National Wildlife Refuge
· Surveyed for Alligator
Snapping Turtles at sites where the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and
Fisheries had released head-started individuals
· Assisted with other
Alligator Snapping Turtle trapping efforts in support of colleagues and the
USFWS, and conducted an ongoing capture-mark-recapture study of them in the
Atchafalaya Basin
· Assessed methylmercury
concentrations in amphibians as well as dragonfly larva, which may be used as a
proxy for the contaminant
· Surveyed for
Razor-backed Musk Turtles throughout southern Louisiana, with a more focused
follow-up study at two sites to assess demographic components
· Discovered a new
population of protected Ringed Map Turtles outside of their single known drainage,
with follow-up work continuing
· Conducted surveys for rare terrestrial
salamanders in Louisiana, finding several new sites of two species
Spring ’08 – Spring ’11 Biological Technician II, then General Biologist I for IAP World Services, Inc., working at the U.S. Geological Survey National Wetlands Research Center under research ecologist Hardin Waddle, principal investigator for the Amphibian Research and Monitoring Initiative (ARMI).
· Conducted nighttime visual encounter and calling surveys for frogs in the Atchafalaya Basin, Big Thicket National Preserve, and Coldwater National Wildlife Refuge
· Conducted nighttime amphibian surveys at various Wetlands Reserve Program and agricultural lands in the Delta of Mississippi
· Assessed the efficacy of automated recording units and recognition software for frog and toad monitoring
· Examined the population ecology of mole salamanders in Kisatchie National Forest
Spring ’07 – Fall ’07 Seasonal Researcher working for the Missouri Department of Natural Resources (MODNR) primarily at Big Oak Tree State Park (BOTSP).
· Examined the turtle population and assemblage at BOTSP using deep-water crawfish nets, hoop nets, fyke nets, and basking traps to capture turtles. Captured turtles were processed for standard measurements and then marked.
· Limited amphibian and reptile surveys performed at several other southeastern MODNR sites
Fall ’03 – Spring ’06 Graduate student at Middle Tennessee State University
· Under the guidance of Dr. Dennis Mullen, examined intraspecific interactions of Banded Sculpin (Cottus carolinae) in a first order stream in Cannon County, Tennessee. (Fall 2003)
· With major professor, Dr. Vincent Cobb, explored movements of a litter of neonate Timber Rattlesnakes (Crotalus horridus) in Rutherford County, Tennessee using radio-telemetry. (Fall 2003)
· Field assistant for Dr. Brian Miller’s graduate student Richie Wyckoff, who investigated the migration patterns and chronology of five species of ambystomatid salamander in Coffee County, Tennessee. Work consisted of checking drift fence arrays and minnow traps around and in an ephemeral wetland, and processing and marking individuals. (Winter ’04 - Spring ’05)
· Field technician for Dr. Brian Miller’s inventory of herpetofauna at Stones River National Battlefield in Rutherford County, Tennessee. Visual encounter surveys, drift fences, minnow taps, cover boards, hoop traps and deep-water crawfish nets were employed. (Spring-Summer ’04)
· Field assistant for Dr. Brian Miller’s graduate student Matthew Niemiller, who is examining the phylogenetics of the Tennessee Cave Salamander complex, Gyrinophilus palleucus. Work entailed capturing individuals in stream caves and then processing them for standard measurements, getting tissue samples, and inserting alpha numeric tags to identify individuals. (Summer ’04 - Spring ’06)
· Initiated a mark-recapture study of freshwater aquatic turtles at Reelfoot Lake, Tennessee. In this time period 2469 individual turtles of 9 species were captured. Experience included using digital radiography on gravid turtles. Hoop nets, drift fences, deep-water crawfish nets and dip nets were utilized to capture turtles.(Summer ’04 - Fall ’05)
· Worked on Master’s thesis examining population dynamics and feeding activity of Sternotherus odoratus at Reelfoot Lake, Tennessee. Deep-water crawfish nets were used to capture turtles, which were then processed for standard measurements, marked by making notches on the marginal scutes with a file, and subsequently released at point of capture. (Fall ’04 - Fall ’05)
· Field technician for Dr. Dennis Mullen’s inventory of fish at Stones River National Battlefield in Rutherford County, Tennessee. Seining, electrofishing and fyke nets were employed. (Fall ’04 - Spring ’06)
· Under the guidance of Dr. Brian Miller, examined reproductive success and distribution of the rare Streamside Salamander (Ambystoma barbouri) in middle Tennessee. (Fall ’04 - Spring ’06)
Spring ’99 - Spring ’03 Undergraduate student at Southeastern Louisiana University
· Initiated a turtle mark-recapture study in a system of urban drainage canals in St. Bernard Parish, Louisiana, under guidance from Dr. Richard Seigel. (Summer ’00)
· Field assistant to Dr. Brian Crother’s graduate student Joe Ramspott working in Manchac Wildlife Management Area in St. John the Baptist Parish, Louisiana. Goals included updating the herp species list and examining amphibian recruitment along transects in near-pristine versus open marshes. (Fall ’02 - Spring ’03)
