The southeastern United States is a temperate freshwater biodiversity hotspot host. However, little is known about the mechanisms that have generated this remarkable richness. This project will characterize the ecological axes of diversification in Darters (Percidae: Etheostomatinae), a charismatic clade of freshwater fish endemic to North America. Students will use GIS to analyze environmental datasets and produce species distribution models. Computational analysis will be supplemented with literature review to characterize information about microhabitat specialists and life history in darters.
data analysis, literature review, GIS
GIS and/or coding (R or python) recommend (not required!)
As a mentor, I am always striving to create a positive and empowering working environment by developing working relationships founded on mutual respect. I believe it is crucial for every researcher to feel ownership of their work. To promote this, I will work with mentees to identify their goals and motivations. Next steps in projects will be shaped around these conversations and goals.
