Graduate students
Lindsey Dewey
Lindsey graduated from Murray State University in 2020 with a B.S. in Biology. She has worked for the Montana Conservation Corps and AmeriCorps. She is a coauthor with Dr. Lucas Kirschman on a manuscript on the investigation of physiological trade-offs between reproductive effort and cellular immune responses in female wolf spiders, which was published in Physiological Entomology.
Lindsey is currently investigating the effects of beaver recolonization on aquatic insect communities in high desert streams. |

Originally from southern Illinois, Elizabeth graduated from Southern Illinois University in 2017 with a B.S. in Zoology, focusing on wildlife ecology. After graduating she began working for Missouri Department of Conservation as Assistant Natural History Biologist in the Southeast region.
Elizabeth is currently studying a fringe population of Eastern tiger salamanders in the sand prairie of Scott County, Missouri. Upon graduation, she hopes to continue in an ecologically-driven career field. |
Dylan Horton
I graduated from Arkansas Tech University in Russellville, AR in 2017. The following three years, I assisted graduate students with research on Least Terns on the Arkansas River, Ring-necked Pheasant in Kansas and Greater Sage Grouse in California. I joined the Ducks Unlimited team in November of 2019-present. I currently work out of the USDA Service Center in Jackson, MO where I assist NRCS with implementation of the ACEP Wetland Reserve Easement program on private lands. One of my favorite things to do on the weekends is play the piano at gigs with the classic rock band, Project 573! I’m excited about the opportunity to learn more and meet new people.
Dylan is currently studying the effects of timing of inundation and hydroperiod on aquatic insect and amphibian emergence from temporary ponds. |
