Research Summary:

My thesis focuses on the biogeography of land mollusca at springs on the Colorado Plateau. More specifically, I am investigating differences in diversity between springs habitat and surrounding matrix habitat, at three elevation zones from 500 to 12,600 feet.

I am also comparing random and targeted sampling methods, to better understand how to quantitatively sample land molluscs.
