Current and past members of the Northeast Amphibian Research and Monitoring Initiative
Evan Grant, Research Wildlife Biologist
Evan began working with the NE ARMI research team in March of 2003, just in time for the breeding migration of the spotted salamanders and the beginning of the field season. He received his PhD in Marine, Estuarine and Environmental Sciences from the University of Maryland, College Park. His research focuses on the movement ecology of stream amphibians, but he has other interests in ecology at larger spatial scales.
