Since January 2024, I have been a research assistant in the Kelly Zamudio Lab, which is where I fell in love with frogs! Broadly, my research interests include using phylogenetic, mapping, biodiversity, and disease surveillance methods to inform conservation decisions and combat global amphibian losses.

I'm currently a third-year undergraduate at the University of Texas at Austin, majoring in Honors Biology with a focus in Ecology, Evolution, and Behavior.

Salix has worked on research projects on population genetics, spatial ecology, diet ecology and more, and their current research is on figuring out the full-taxa diet of Sierra Nevada Red Foxes (Vulpes vulpes necator) in the Oregon Cascades. They are using next-generation sequencing of non-invasively collected scats to examine the vertebrate, invertebrate, and plant components of this endangered montane fox subspecies’ diet.
They are also interested in interspecies interactions, non-invasive genetics, and culturally inclusive ccience

Salix Scoresby is a wildlife ecologist who has been lucky enough to work with some of the most elusive mammals in the West on projects encompassing population genetics, spatial ecology, diet ecology and more. Salix is currently a graduate student and a MITSI and National Needs Foundation Fellow at Northern Arizona University’s School of Forestry. They are a white settler from the Jewish diaspora, a non-binary trans person, and deeply committed to and excited about doing their best to engage in collaborative anti-colonial science.

My research is most concerned with how corals may be adapting to climate change. Coral survival is dependent on a symbiotic relationship between the coral animal and its obligate algal endosymbiont. When this relationship breaks down, the symbionts are expelled in a processes colloquially referred to as "bleaching". I am most interested in the underlying stability of the coral-algal symbiosis. To explore this question, I am applying both genetic and mathematical methods. First, I study the fidelity of symbiont partnerships through time by comparing centuries-old massive corals to their juvenile counterparts. Beyond this, I utilize mathematical simulations and models to explore how different life history strategies affect reef's resilience to bleaching.

I am a third year PhD student in the Ecology, Evolution & Behavior program at the University of Texas at Austin. I am a member of the Matz lab, broadly studying coral adaptation to climate change. More specifically, my thesis work centers on modeling the coral-algal symbiosis and exploring coral genetic change over long timescales. Prior to attending UT, I received a B.S. degree in Applied Mathematics & Biology from the University of Idaho.

I'm studying on the effects of climate change on marine benthos. I examined physiological and behavioral changes caused by environmental disturbances.

Investigating how effects of changing ocean conditions on organismal traits and species interactions propagate through marine communities by combining

Sasha Seroy is a PhD student in Oceanography at the University of Washington. She studies how marine communities are responding to changing ocean conditions, with a focus on marine invertebrates. Sasha is actively involved in K-12 STEM education, developing and facilitating sensor building programs at local high schools. She also draws science cartoons and runs the weekly science comic strip "Interviews with Invertebrates." Prior to attending graduate school Sasha received her BS in Biology from Stony Brook University, and worked as an environmental educator at Frost Valley YMCA and as a museum educator at the American Museum of Natural History in New York.

In my PhD, I use frogs as a model system to understand how organisms integrate behavioral and physiological responses to cope with environmental variation. My first project assesses how changes in temperature and forest configuration influence current spatial distributions along a tropical elevational gradient. My second project examines the integration of behavior and physiology as mechanisms to cope with seasonal variability in species with contrasting reproductive strategies, including seasonal breeders and year-round breeders. This work aims to use these responses to understand and predict species resilience to future climate change. My third project emphasizes temperature fluctuations across a land-use gradient, assessing behavioral and physiological responses to fine-scale variation in thermal environments.

I am a Peruvian tropical field biologist with a strong interest in interactions between organisms and their environment, animal behavior, phenotypic plasticity, and spatial ecology. I have over ten years of experience working in the Amazon with multiple taxonomic groups, including insects, frogs, reptiles, birds, and mammals, using methods ranging from natural history observations to experimental manipulations.

Right now, I am interested in Computational and Systems Biology approach for building and designing of drug discovery models! My prime aim towards this is to work for the benefit of humanity and Society!

Hi, I am an Organismal Biologist. My specialization lies in the genus Ephedra! Also, I think I am an interdisciplinary scientist and learn to gain knowledge in the upcoming fields of technology!
