The Disease Ecology & Conservation Biology Lab investigates the ecology of parasitism and disease in vertebrates by studying the ecological, physiological and evolutionary aspects of host-parasite interactions. The lab has an environmental chamber and is equipped with dissecting microscopes, microscope cameras, and a -80oC  ultrafreeze, as well as additional equipment for ornithological, herpetological and wildlife field research. Recent projects include “Interactive Effects of Parasitism and Food Supplementation in a Natural Population of White-Crowned Sparrows” and “Effects of Forest Fragmentation on the Distribution and Prevalence of Wildlife Infectious Diseases in the Upper Midwest.”
