Kelt Lab Group

I currently support six graduate students.  They are listed below.  Those with hyperlinks have prepared web pages to describe their research (that's a subtle hint to my students).

• Jessica Braswell (Joint Ph.D. with SDSU and co-supervised with Dr. Jay Diffendorfer) -- Conservation biology of small mammals in fragmented habitats of southern California.
• Stephanie Coppeto (M.S.) -- Habitat associations of Sierra mammals.
• Laurissa Hamilton (Ph.D.) -- Ecology and conservation of the endangered riparian brush rabbit (Sylvilagus bachmani riparius).
• Susan Roberts (Ph.D.) -- The role of fire history on spotted owl productivity in Yosemite National Park.

Finished (yahoooo . . .):

Rachel Brock  (2001) -- Experimental field studies in the conservation ecology of the endangered Stephen's Kangaroo Rat (Dipodomys stephensi).  Currently a traveling ecology professor for the International Honors Program, Boston University.

Lori Campbell (2003) -- Distribution and habitat associations of mesocarnivores in the Sierra Nevada of California.  Currently with the US Forest Service, PSW, Sierra Nevada Research Center, Davis, CA.

Marc Meyer (2003) -- Forests, fungi, and small mammals: the impact of fire and thinning on a tri-trophic mutualism.  Currently a postdoctoral fellow with the US Forest Service, PSW, Sierra Nevada Research Center, Davis, CA.

Marcelo Tognelli (2003) -- Patterns of species richness and conservation of South American terrestrial mammals.  Currently a postdoctoral fellow with the Center for Advanced Studies in Ecology and Biodiversity, P. Universidad Catolica de Chile, Santiago, Chile.
