Karen Dillman, Lichenologist
Forests & Plants - M.S., Arizona State University
- USDA Forest Service Scientist
- A lichenologist is someone who studies lichens in their natural habitat. Lichens are made up of more than one organism, but the main partners are fungi and algae. The fungal partner is the body of the lichen we can see easily in nature, while the algal partner is hidden inside the fungal layers.

Doug Booher, Ecologist, Entomologist, and Evolutionary Biologist
Insects - Ph.D., University of California, Los Angeles
- USDA Forest Service scientist
- As an ecologist and an entomologist, I study the functional importance native ants provide to ecosystems and the impacts invasive species have on native ant communities. As a taxonomist, I describe new ant species.

Emilee Poole, Entomologist
Insects - Ph.D., University of Georgia
- USDA Forest Service scientist
- As an entomologist, I’m interested in the interactions between plants and insects. I study forest health by looking at native and invasive pests, their impact on our forests, and potential management strategies.

Joseph Wunderle, Wildlife Ecologist & Conservation Biologist
Wildlife - Ph.D., University of Minnesota
- USDA Forest Service Scientist
- We study wildlife populations and their relationships with their physical and living environment to identify what might cause populations to increase or decrease. We apply these research findings to help endangered species’ populations to increase.

Mel Warren, Fisheries & Aquatic Ecologist
Wildlife - Ph.D., Southern Illinois University, Carbondale
- USDA Forest Service Scientist
- As a fisheries and aquatic ecologist, I study fishes and freshwater mussels in their natural habitats to learn about their life cycles, needs for survival, roles in the ecosystem, and how we can conserve them.
