Dr. Howard Whiteman Receives Presidential
Research Fellowship
Dr. Howard Whiteman was recently awarded a Presidential Research Fellowship from MSU's Committee on Institutional Studies and Research (CISR). Dr. Whiteman will be completing two major manuscripts documenting 15 years of research on salamander populations in Colorado. The salamanders exhibit two different body forms that are influenced by various environmental factors,
and
provide a model system for testing ecological and evolutionary hypotheses.
This research has been conducted in collaboration with Dr. Scott Wissinger
(Allegheny College) and numerous Murray State and Allegheny College students,
and has been most recently benefited from a MSU postdoctoral researcher,
Dr. Nicole Gerlanc.
