Research Experience:

Colorado State University

Thesis Research:
Genetics of dorsal color in montane chorus frogs, Pseudacris triseriata. Determined the inheritance of color morphs. Field collections, mating, rearing, and genetic analysis.

Dissertation Research (NDEA Graduate Fellow in Genetics):
Population and evolutionary genetics of color polymorphism in populations of montane chorus frogs. Intensive three-year field study of changes of frequencies of gene controlling color polymorphism and the evolutionary significance of these changes.

University of Texas, Austin

NSF Faculty Associate in Biochemical Genetics:

Biochemical genetics of natural populations of the Argentine toad, Bufo arenarum. I determined the amount of genetic variation at allozyme loci, correlated this variation to behavioral and morphological parameters, and compared genetic similarities of geographical isolates.
