Poster Talk

Sexually dimorphic skull morphology of sea snakes (Elapidae: Hydrophiinae)

I used CT scanning technology and segmentation software to produce a dataset of fifteen fine measurements to characterize the skull morphology of five species of sea snakes. After completing the data analysis we found evidence of sexual dimorphism among two of the five species.

Sea Snake Diet Ecology (Elapidae: Hydrophiinae)

X-rayed museum sea snake specimens and found and identified new diet records and using the diet records to infer ecological implications of sea snakes. I have been involved in all aspects of manuscript preparation; from coding, analysis, data visualization, writing, literature search, and formatting figures for publication.

Frog Distribution Pamphlet

For my course EEB 450: Rivers, Lakes, and Wetlands at UMBS, I did a term-long research project and then communicated my findings through a brochure. This brochure showed the presence/absence data of frogs in various freshwater habitats around the UMBS campus. Copies of the brochure were kept at the UMBS store to be referenced by those living in the area.
