Visiting Researchers
David Peterson
Fish Biologist
USDA- Forest Service Lufkin TX
Dave and the Montana Lab are working on describing the "Conservation status of fishes in East Texas". We are looking at historical and contemporary data to evaluate changes in species composition over time, but also we are looking at life history traits and functional traits to evaluate what traits have allowed the persistence of some native species over time.

Graduate Students
Morgan Beckham M.S. Biology B.A. Biology @ St. Edwards University Morgan is examining historical and contemporary changes of fish assemblages in La Nana Creek watershed, East Texas. |
Jake Swanson M.S. Student, Environmental Science B.S., Natural Resource Ecology and Management @ Oklahoma State University Jake is studying role of environmental variables on fish community assembly across multiple spatial scales. Specifically, he will examine how fish functional traits correlate to environmental variables in Texas streams. Jake is co-advised with Dr. Christopher Schalk |
Undergraduate Students
Jordan Griffin
Biology Jordan is describing "Morphological patterns and range of distribution of Sheepshead minnow (Cyprinodon variegatus) in Texas waters". |
Jessica O'Neall
Biology Jessica is examining "Niche segregation among sunfishes (Lepomis spp.) in an East Texas Urban Stream". |
Zachary Hutchens
Biology Zachary is examining ecological niche overlap between the native Red River pupfish (Cyprinodon rubrofluviatilis) and the non-native Sheepshead minnow (C. variegatus) in Texas streams. |
