Specific Interests
I am primarily interested in the effects of environmental stressors on reproductive fitness of vertebrates. This would include any factor that could potentially limit reproductive success. Currently, I am investigating the effects of accelerated water loss rates and contaminants on the development, immune function, and stress response of New Mexico spadefoot toads (Spea multiplicata).
