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

 Jake Swanson
M.S. Student, Environmental Science, SFASU.
B.S., Natural Resource Ecology and Management @ Oklahoma State University
Jake is examining how fish functional traits correlate to environmental variables in Texas streams.

Jake is co-advised with Dr. Christopher Schalk

Erin Shepta
M.S. Student, Biology, SFASU.
B.S. Biology: Animal Behavior @ Millersville University, Pennsylvania

Erin will be investigating current ecological status of two Cyprindontiformes fish species and the pathways of their introductions in Texas streams.

Jordan Griffin
Biology

Jordan is describing "Morphological patterns and range of distribution of Sheepshead minnow (Cyprinodon variegatus) in Brazos River, TX".

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.
