Stephen Richter
Ph.D., 2004
Stephen developed a microsatellite library for the critically endangered dusky gopher frog. He then used these markers to characterize the conservation genetics of the lone remaining population of this species. Currently Associate Professor at Eastern Kentucky Univ. |

Paulette Reneau
Ph.D., 2008
Paulette worked on phylogenetics of the genus Gambusia using heat-shock genes and used qPCR to document variation in the expression of heat-shock proteins in Gambusia populations inhabiting different thermal environments. Currently Assistant Professor at Florida A&M Univ. |
