Pilot Testing a Novel, Open-source GNSS receiver (SnapperGPS) on Freshwater Turtles
We are collaborating with researchers at the University of Oxford to pilot test their state-of-the-art, open-source GNSS receiver.
The Burrow Bot
We are designing and building a prototype robot to investigate wildlife burrows. The robot is powered by a microcomputer and uses several sensors (i.e.,AI camera, LIDAR, temperature/humidity) to collect data on tortoises and their burrows.
Population Status of the Suwannee Alligator Snapping Turtle
A long-term capture-mark-recapture project to investigate the population status of the Suwannee Alligator Snapping Turtle.
The Effect of Discrete BRDs on Crab Captures and Terrapin Exclusion.
Examining different by-catch reduction devices (BRDs) on crab captures and terrapin exclusion using a combination of theoretical modeling and lab experiments.
Passive fishing effort in the Suwannee River using a capture-mark-recapture framework.
This project seeks to better understand passive fishing techniques and its effect on wildlife
Examining movements of terrapins using satellite tags
We are collaborating with researchers at the USGS to continuously track diamondback terrapins with satellite tags.
Population size and structure of diamondback terrapins on coastal islands in Florida.
A capture-mark-recapture study on the diamondback terrapin on coastal islands in western Florida
