Will is currently a Keeper and
Conservation Biologist at the Chattanooga Zoo. Will is a
coauthor on Julie's project on natural selection that is
now published in Evolution. |

Zachary Martin (M.S., August 2017)
Zach is currently teaching at his
high school alma mater in Charlottesville, VA and coaching
lacrosse. Zach published his collaboration with Kylie and
I in 2018. |
||
| Dane Conley
Dane recently completed a
project exploring how variation in ultraviolet (UV)
light influenes thermoregulation behavior in
lizards! He also conducted field study on
the spatial ecology of western fence lizards, prior
to beginning his graduate work at Virginia Tech in
fall 2021! |
|||
| Jenell Glover
Jenell completed a project
exploring how male color variation influences female
mate choice in a color polymorphic lizard species.
Her manuscript was just accepted for publication! |
|||
| Michael
Buontempo (B.S., Spring 2020)
Michael conducted two
projects in our lab; one project on the
ecogeographic divergence in hognose snake
coloration is currently under review for
publication in Herpetologica. Michael is currently
pursuing a PhD at the University of Texas at El
Paso on rattlesnake biogeography. |
|||
| Dawson Brown
(B.S., Spring 2019)
Dawson conducted and
published on a study exploring how shifts in
ecological context can perturb social dominance
hierarchies in lizards. |
|||
|
|
Maleah
Manion (B.S., Spring 2018)
Maleah has a publication in
Herpetologica
on her research exploring ecomorphology and thermal
ecology interactions in widespread lizards. She is
currently applying to graduate schools in Virginia. |
||
|
|
Cynthia
Morris (B.S. Spring 2017)
Cynthia earned her M.S. degree in
another lab at CNU and published her undergraduate
research in our lab in the journal Behaviour. |
||
| Julie
Taylor (B.S., Fall 2017)
Julie earned an M.S. degree at
University of Kansas in paleobiology and is currently
seeking PhD opportunities in evolutionary biology. She
has a publication on boldness behavior in lizards in
Ethology and a publication on natural selection on a
widespread lizard species in Evolution. |
|||

|
Kylie
Krohmaly (B.S., Spring 2017)
Kylie is currently working on her
Ph.D. in Biomedicine at The George Washington University.
She published her work on male mate choice in tree lizards
in 2018. |
