Joseph Wunderle, Wildlife Ecologist & Conservation Biologist
- 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.

Ted Weller, Ecologist
- M.S., Humboldt State University
- USDA Forest Service Scientist
- An ecologist studies the interaction between animals, their environment, and the weather. In my work, I study how those interactions change among seasons.

Mel Warren, Fisheries & Aquatic Ecologist
- 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.

Jenny Rechel, Wildlife Biologist / Geographer
- Ph.D., University of California
