Travis Reynolds
BSc in Biology, Northern Arizona University traviscreynolds@gmail.com Consuasor: Laurie Raymundo Thesis topic: Influences effecting post-settlement mortality of coral recruitment. Interests: Generally speaking, coral ecology tops the list. This broad focus can be dissected into larval ecology and the management/rehabilitation of coral reefs. Other intertwined topics, including population dynamics and phylogenetics, continuously guide my curiosity. When I'm not diving for knowledge, I'm enjoying the luxurious island atmosphere while living a fruitful life. |
