Jackie Grant's Homepgae
I am interested in nature and the natural history of animals, particularly amphibians, reptiles, and insects. These interests led me to the fields of conservation biology and wildlife ecology. I use a landscape genetics approach to explore how nature and humans influence animal populations. My research includes field and laboratory components that include quantitative behavioral observation, analysis of molecular markers, and GIS.

Currently, I am working on several projects that include: development and testing of a functional connectivity model for the boreal chorus frog in the Black Hills of South Dakota; inventory of butterflies in disturbed and restored habitats in lowland tropical forests of Honduras; and the behavioral ecology of kin selection in social caterpillars. When mentoring students, my goal is to not only transfer useful skills, but to also confer upon them an appreciation for underappreciated organisms.
