  Current Projects

 
  • Habitat-use, home range, and survivorship assessments of canebrake (Crotalus horridus) and eastern diamondback (Crotalus adamanteus) rattlesnakes in a developing landscape in the South Carolina Lowcountry.
  • Assessing the activity patterns of canebrake (Crotalus horridus) and eastern diamondback (Crotalus adamanteus) rattlesnakes in South Carolina as potentially influenced by abiotic variation. Collaborators: Jayme Waldron
  • Characterization of habitat selection and vegetation preferences of hawksbill sea turtles (Eretmochelys imbricata) to target management and restoration potentials on developed beaches in the West Indies. Collaborators: Tara Muenz and Jim Richardson
  • Developing guidelines and recommendations for transportation planning as it pertains to the avoidance and mitigation of the effects of road infrastructure on small vertebrates through facilitating communication and collaborations, scientific summary, and the creation of planning tools. Collaborators: Priya Nanjappa
  • Evaluating the efficacy of long-range relocation of canebrake rattlesnakes (Crotalus horridus) as a last-resort management tool on developing lands.
  • Investigating the colonization of stormwater lagoons by young adult American alligators (Alligator mississippiensis) in the South Carolina Lowcountry. Collaborators: Dr. Terry Norton, DVM
  • Venom toxicity sampling of canebrake (Crotalus horridus) and eastern diamondback (Crotalus adamanteus) rattlesnakes in the South Carolina Lowcountry. Collaborators: Jayme Waldron
