Ecology & Conservation

Patrick Bohlen

Current research interests in ecosystem ecology; urban ecology; ecology and valuation of urban green space; wetland ecosystem services

Will Crampton

faculty 407-823-0915 william.crampton@ucf.edu

Dr. Crampton investigates the ecological, behavioral, and evolutionary mechanisms that generate and regulate tropical species diversity, with emphasis on signal evolution and reproductive isolation in the Neotropical electric fishes.

Llewellyn Ehrhart

emeritus-administrative 407-823-2970 lmehrhart@earthlink.net

Vertebrate zoologist whose research program is focused on reproduction, population biology, ecologic geography, and conservation biology of marine turtles.

John Fauth

faculty 407-823-1661 john.fauth@ucf.edu

Ecology, evolution, conservation and restoration biology, herpetology

Ross Hinkle

faculty 407-823-2141 rhinkle@ucf.edu

Plant ecology, landscape ecology, and natural resources management.

Eric Hoffman

faculty 407-823-4007 eric.hoffman@ucf.edu

The main theme of my research program is to investigate levels of genetic variation present in natural populations and to utilize this information to address hypotheses about the molecular ecology/population genetics of the organism.

David G. Jenkins

faculty 407-823-1660 david.jenkins@ucf.edu

Ecological community structure and function, especially the interplay between regional (dispersal, colonization, invasion, community assembly, etc.) and local (competition, predation, abiotic factors) processes.

Joshua King

faculty 407-823-1082 joshua.king@ucf.edu

Dr. King's primary interests are in community ecology, invasion biology, social insects, and conservation science aimed at understanding the ecosystem services of insects.

Reed Noss

faculty 407-823-0975 reed.noss@ucf.edu

Conservation planning, vertebrate ecology, vegetation science, disturbance ecology, climate change, adaptive management.

Pedro Quintana-Ascencio

faculty 407-823-1662 Pedro.Quintana-Ascencio@ucf.edu

The interactive role of disturbance and spatial structure on plant community and population dynamics.

I Jack Stout

emeritus-administrative 407-823-2919 i.stout@ucf.edu

Population and community-level phenomena in ecosystems of peninsular Florida, small mammals' community structure, dispersal strategies, and habitat selection.

Betsy Von Holle

faculty 407-823-0916 mary.vonholle@ucf.edu

Interested in the landscape patterns and community mechanisms that influence the addition of species into ecosystems.

Linda Walters

faculty 407-823-2148 linda.walters@ucf.edu

Human impacts in the marine environment. Both pure ecology questions and goal-based conservation issues for a wide range of marine and estuarine habitats.
