Ongoing projects in my laboratory include:
- investigation of amphibian -
bacteria
mutualisms,
- experimental examination of the causes of life-history variation
and joint nesting behavior among female four-toed salamanders (Hemidactylium) (Fig. 1),
- study of the effect of anthropogenic factors on amphibian
populations,
- conservation of the rare Cow Knob salamander, Plethodon punctatus.
Our research is currently funded by the National Science Foundation and
