Calling all nature enthusiasts and wildlife aficionados!Join us as guest lecture, Dr. Mark Peaden presents the captivating world of turtles and the often-misunderstood snakes native to America. While turtles may seem like the gentle giants of the reptile world, often evoking images of resilience and longevity, snakes frequently face unjust misconceptions and fears. The presentation will discuss why these reptiles matter, how to identify them, and the roles they play in the environment. Dr. Peaden will debunk common myths surrounding snakes and shed light on their vital ecological roles – along with some great stories from the field! Join us as we unravel the mysteries of America's turtles and snakes and explore the interconnectedness of life in our diverse ecosystems.
Dr. Peaden is driven by a passion for wildlife conservation and preservation of biodiversity, particularly by factors that affect the distribution, abundance, and persistence of wildlife populations. His past research experiences include working with a broad range of wildlife, including bats, avian species, mesocarnivores, reptiles, amphibians, and fish communities. While each taxonomic group posed their own unique conservation and research challenges, they have allowed him to focus his current, and future research on answering questions to inform conservation managers.
