Research interests
Animal behavior, particularly social communication. I have two manuscripts in preparation: The first examines social communication in the red-backed salamander, Plethodon cinereus; the second looks at territoriality in the red-backed salamander. I have one manuscript in review in the journal, Ethology. It studies the individual identity that’s revealed by sonar emissions from the little brown bat, Myotis lucifugus.
Why I teach
I’ve always enjoyed biology, particularly organismal biology. I enjoy sharing my love this subject with others.
