I'm studying ecology at New College of Florida in Sarasota, and I just got my first grant for a preliminary mark-recapture study of the greater siren, Siren lacertina, in a nearby state park. (The park's reptile and amphibian records are mostly based on a report from 1941!)
I'm interested in all kinds of reptiles and amphibians, especially aquatic salamanders and caecilians. Though I wish I didn't have to leave my Typhlonectes natans and 2 Bufo variegatus with my parents, it's great to be on a campus crawling with treefrogs and anoles, even if they are both nonnative. The coolest thing I've done with salamanders recently was snorkeling for hellbenders in the Oconaluftee River, where I caught a larval hellbender in a snorkel mask.
