1. Environmental physiology and social behavior of rattlesnakes: We are harnessing the power of technology (game cameras and live streaming cameras) to non-invasively study rattlesnakes at den and rookery (communal nesting sites) in California and Colorado. Topics currently under study include thermoregulation, water balance, and social behavior.
2. Environmental physiology and subterranean ecology of lizards: We are studying thermoregulation and hydroregulation in numerous lizard species, ranging from common Western fence lizards to endangered Blunt-nosed leopard lizards. We are developing technology to study lizards deep inside underground refugia.
