Environmental Conservation Biology
 

  • Natural history and reproductive histology of amphibians and reptiles
  • Spermatozoan ultrastructure of amphibians and reptiles
  • Conservation status of selected Arkansas amphibians and reptiles

Students working in this laboratory will learn field, analytical and policy-related methods for the assessment of population status and health of endemic amphibian and reptile populations. Current projects include the assessment of the status of the Caddo Mountain Salamander, the effects of prescribed fire on terrestrial plethodontid salamanders (Plethodon albagula and Plethodon caddoensis)  in the Ouachita Mountains, population dynamics of alligator snapping turtles (Macrochelys temminckii), population analysis and status of the Ozark hellbender (Cryptobranchus alleganiensis bishopi) and the development of an assessment plan for two US Fish and Wildlife Service sensitive species (Ozark hellbender, Cryptobranchus alleganiensis bishopi, and the queen snake, Regina septemvittata).
