Ryan Gary holding a paddlefish in Oklahoma
Ryan’s thesis research focuses on the importance of appropriate spawning substrate as a key driver of paddlefish restoration success in reservoirs of Oklahoma. Paddlefish, an important sportfish, have been stocked in reservoirs throughout the State, but these stocking efforts have had variable success.

Stringing Nets to Catch Mongooses
For a behavioral study of Crossarchus obscurus, the long-nosed cusimanse, in Tiwai Island Wildlife Sanctuary, Sierra Leone, West Africa, fishing nets were the most successful method of capturing an entire group of these mongooses, compared to baited live-traps and thatch fences (which channeled animals into live traps, and which were moderately successful).
