Jamie Roberts
Associate Professor, Dept of Biology, Georgia Southern University PhD: Virginia Tech MS: Virginia Tech BS: University of Georgia I am a fish ecologist with particular interests in population and community dynamics, dispersal ecology, population and conservation genetics, and environmental change. I apply a variety of field, genetic, and modeling methods to address key questions in fisheries management and conservation biology. At GSU, I teach Fisheries Biology, Ichthyology, Conservation Biology, Evolution and Ecology, Landscape Genetics, Wildlife Management, Research Methods, and Environmental Biology (and sometimes sleep :) Phone: 912-478-4687 Email: jhroberts"at"georgiasouthern.edu Google Scholar profile Research Gate profile PlumX profile Selected works profile Orcid ID: https://orcid.org/0000-0003-4844-157X |

Lauren Albury
MS student, Dept of Biology, Georgia Southern University BS: Bethune-Cookman University Lauren's thesis research will explore patterns of genomic diversity within and relationships between populations of imperiled freshwater mussels of the eastern U.S. |

Patrick Lewis
MS student, Dept of Biology, Georgia Southern University BS: University of Alabama My research focuses on spatial and temporal fluctuations of fish community composition in response to environmental variation. For my thesis, I am using long-term biomonitoring data from the Georgia DNR to evaluate how changes in water and habitat quality variables affect fish communities from taxonomic and functional trait perspectives across Georgia. I aim to create predictive models of community response to environmental change that can be applied across the Southeastern United States. |

Paul Braun
MS student, Dept of Biology, Georgia Southern University BS: University of Georgia My research interests are rooted in aquatic and marine biology, specifically fish species conservation. My work at Georgia Southern is focused on the development of monitoring protocols to assess spawning dynamics of Robust Redhorse (Moxostoma robustum). This species was believed to be extinct for 122 years, and was recently rediscovered. Developing a plan, along with techniques to monitor the reproductive success of Robust Redhorse is a critical step toward ensuring their persistence. |
