Join us for Moth Appreciation! Dr. Scholtens attended Central College, receiving a B.A. in biology in 1983. He did graduate work at the University of Michigan, receiving his Ph.D. in 1990 in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology. He moved to Mt. Pleasant, SC in 1992 to become an assistant professor at the College of Charleston in the Biology Department, where he continues to teach Entomology and Introductory Biology.
Scholtens teaches Entomology or Ecology each summer at the University of Michigan Biological Station in northern Michigan, and has also offered courses in butterflies and moths at Humboldt Field Research Institute in Maine. His research has focused on the conservation biology of threatened and endangered insects and biodiversity surveys. He co-coordinated the Lepidoptera part of the All Taxa Biodiversity Inventory in Great Smoky Mountain National Park, and has recently completed a moth survey (with Joe Culin, Clemson University, and John Snyder, Furman University) of Congaree National Park near Columbia, SC.
