Director & Professor, Department of Plant Biology,
University of Minnesota, Twin Cities
Research interests include nitrogen cycling in
wetlands, and the anatomy and physiology of angiosperms. Dr. Biesboer is
a recipient of the Morse/Alumni Award for outstanding teaching.
Assistant Professor of Vertebrate Biology, Biology Department, Drake University,
Des Moines, Iowa
Research interests focus on the evolution of characteristics among birds, ranging
from plumage coloration to ecological niches, using a comparative phylogenetic
approach. (EEB 4844, Ornithology)
Assistant Professor,
Department of Biology, Hamline University, St. Paul, Minnesota
Research interests include the evolutionary biology of organisms that alternate
between asexual and sexual reproduction, aquatic ecology, acoustic analyses of
zooplankton, and invertebrate biology. This will be his third year teaching ecology
at Itasca after receiving his Ph.D. from the University of Minnesota in 2002.
(Biol 3807, Ecology)
President of Advanced
Telemetry Systems Inc. (ATS) a manufacturing company based in Isanti, Minnesota
ATS manufactures radio-telemetry, radio-location and supporting software used
to monitor free ranging animals. Prior to his association with ATS he was director
of the University of Minnesota’s Cedar Creek Bioelectronics Laboratory for 25
years. He has authored or co-authored more than 30 publications relating to radio
telemetry. (Biol 4850, Animal Behavior/Telemetry)
Postdoctoral Fellow, University of Minnesota
Her interests focus on the life history ecology of aquatic insects, the ecology of streams, and on the taxonomy and systematics of caddisflies. She enjoys spending time watching insects in the wild. (ENT 4861, Aquatic Entomology)
Resident Biologist, Itasca Biological Station, University of Minnesota
Research interests include aquatic biology, specifically fish habitat selection and ecological genetics. (Biol 4850, Animal Behavior/Telemetry)
Professor of Biology at Lakeland Community College
in Kirtland, Ohio
His interests in imaging encompass nature photography,
macrophotography, and photomicroscopy. His ecological interests and
concerns drive his desire to document rare and elusivebiological subjects
and behaviors. Access his photographic Web site. (EEB 4862, Biological Photography and Digital Imaging Techniques)
Associate
Professor of Biology, Department of Biology, Pikeville College, Pikeville,
Kentucky
Research interests include the natural history and ecology of small mammals.
Much of Joe’s research has focused on the population dynamics and habitat use
of shrews and voles. He is an alum of the Itasca Biological Station, and his
Master’s field research was conducted near the Itasca Biological Station. He
earned his M.S. at the University of Minnesota - Duluth and completed his Ph.D.
in Zoology from Southern Illinois University at Carbondale. (EEB 4839, Field
Mammalogy)
Associate
Professor, Minnesota State University Moorhead, Moorhead, Minnesota
