Joe Cook Joe Cook, Museum of Southwestern Biology - I conducted my MS under Joe at the University of Alaska Fairbanks. Joe's research interests lie in the areas of conservation genetics, systematics, molecular evolution, historical biogeography, and host-parasite co-evolution, with a regional focus on Beringia.
Eric DeChaine in the field Eric DeChaine, Western Washington University - I am currently working as a post-doc in Eric's lab. We are collaborating on a multi-taxon, multi-locus, coalescent-based analysis of arctic and alpine tundra flora in Beringia and western North America.
David Hafner photographing a pika Dave Hafner, Museum of Southwestern Biology - Dave and I share an interest in the montane mammals of the Intermountain West, and we collaborated on a pair of studies on the historical biogeography and demography of American pikas.
Eric Hoberg with Ian Muir Galbreath Eric Hoberg, US National Parasite Collection - Eric taught me most of what I know about field parasitology. We worked together at the US National Parasite Collection in Beltsville, MD following my MS, and our collaboration continued during my time at Cornell as we examined the diversity and biogeography of a suite of endoparasitic helminths associated with pikas. (Incidentally, the kid in the photo is mine.)
Betty McGuire Betty McGuire, Cornell University - Betty and I collaborated on Cornell's Mammalogy course. Betty handled the lectures and overall course outline, and I designed and implemented the labs. Working with her on that course was one of the highlights of my Cornell career.
Kelly Zamudio holding an armadillo Kelly Zamudio, Cornell University - Kelly advised me on my doctoral work at Cornell. Her interests lie in the fields of population biology, systematics and character evolution of herps, but she and her lab welcomed this errant mammalogist/closet parasitologist with open arms.
