Below are some of my former students who conducted research in my lab.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Ms. Alma Mendoza presenting our research on using molecular phylogenetics to assess the distinctiveness and potential endemism of Trinidad snakes. We are currently completing a manuscript assessing the evolutionary history of the parasites in the genus Haematoloechus. Ms. Mendoza is now beginning her Ph.D. at Stanford.

 

Mr. Anthony Carmona wrote a successful grant proposal for the Chicago Herpetological Society to conduct the phylogenetic systematics of the New World Vine Snakes. We are currently finishing this project for publication. Mr. Carmona is completing a master’s degree in science education at the University of Illinois at Chicago.

 

 

Mr. Luis Allende was a McNair scholar who worked with me on the phylogenetics of the Sipo snakes, genus Chironius. He is now a Ph.D. student at CU Boulder in the lab of Dr. Stacy Smith.

 

Ms. Kate Sgouros was my master’s student who studied the phylogenetic relationships of loaches. We are currently publishing her thesis on the evolutionary history of Schistura. She is now a Ph.D. student in the ecology and evolutionary biology department at Tulane.

 

 

 

 

Ms. Olivia Choi was a graduate student who was jointly in the Orlofske-Jadin lab. Ms. Choi’s master’s thesis was understanding the influence of migration on the abundance and diversity of tapeworms in Thrushes. She is now a Ph.D. student at the University of Maine.

 

 

 

 

Mr. Hayden Hedman joined my wife and I to conduct amphibian and reptile surveys in the Peruvian Amazon. Mr. Hedman was an undergraduate at CU Boulder at the time and is now finishing his Ph.D. at the University of Michigan.
