Evan Grant, Ph.D.
Evan Grant the principle investigator of the US Geological Survey’s Amphibian Research and Monitoring Initiative (ARMI), northeast region.
Evan's research focuses on questions relating to amphibian populations, specifically with respect to their landscape-scale ecology. Evan also uses decision science to aid resource managers.

Science and Products
Identifying climate-resistant vernal pools: Hydrologic refugia for amphibian reproduction under droughts and climate change
Experimental evaluation of spatial capture–recapture study design
Rapid assessment indicates context-dependent mitigation for amphibian disease risk
Evaluation of regulatory action and surveillance as preventive risk-mitigation to an emerging global amphibian pathogen Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans (Bsal)
Metal accumulation varies with life history, size, and development of larval amphibians
Risks posed by SARS‐CoV‐2 to North American bats during winter fieldwork
The virus that causes COVID‐19 likely evolved in a mammalian host, possibly Old‐World bats, before adapting to humans, raising the question of whether reverse zoonotic transmission to bats is possible. Wildlife management agencies in North America are concerned that the activities they authorize could lead to transmission of SARS‐CoV‐2 to bats from humans. A rapid risk assessment conducted in Apri
Accommodating the role of site memory in dynamic species distribution models
Monitoring the status and trends of the Shenandoah salamander in Shenandoah National Park
Principles and mechanisms of wildlife population persistence in the face of disease
A latent process model approach to improve the utility of indicator species
Moving from decision to action in conservation science
Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans (Bsal) not detected in an intensive survey of wild North American amphibians
