Our Research

We study the ecology, evolution, and conservation of amphibians and reptiles (and a few other critters) with a focus on species occurring in the Ouachita and Ozark Mountains. We use fieldwork, labwork, and geospatial tools to determine species distributions, quantify ecological, morphological, and genetic variation, and infer the evolutionary history of populations and species.
