Legacy Theses & Dissertations (2009 - 2024)
In conservation genetics, the importance of understanding how historical and contemporary processes have contributed to geographic patterns of genetic structure is key to preserving diversity. In New York State there are currently eleven remaining known populations of native brook trout (Salvelnius fontinalis) that inhabit the watersheds for which they are named. These populations are known as "heritage strains", and are currently managed under regulations set by the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation.

Legacy Theses & Dissertations (2009 - 2024)
In 2003, a small, isolated population of the New York State Threatened Blanding's Turtle (Emydoidea blandingii) was documented in Saratoga County, New York, between the main range and eastern range of the species, approximately 120 km from the nearest known population. The location of the population and its occupancy of a protected preserve in an area experiencing heavy development pressure prompted the need for an immediate conservation-focused study. Building upon work of New York State Department of Environmental Conservation staff from 2003-2006, a trapping (2007-2008) and radio-telemetry (2007-2009) study was conducted with the following objectives: 1) inform survey protocol recommendations …
