- Ph.D., University of Mississippi
- USDA Forest Service Scientist
- An aquatic ecologist studies the interactions between aquatic animals and their environment and an astacologist studies crayfish. I focus on how the changes humans make in aquatic ecosystems and their surrounding watersheds impact aquatic animals, expecially crayfish.

- M.S., The University of Tennessee
- USDA Forest Service Scientist
- As an entomologist, I study insect species and related arthropods that inhabit and interact in forest ecosystems. I also work with managing insect pests that have the potential to cause forest health issues in our nation’s forests.

InsectsDan Miller, Forest Entomologist
- Ph.D., Simon Fraser University, Vancouver Canada
- USDA Forest Service Scientist
- Forest entomologists study the interactions between insects and trees. We try to find ways to limit the damage caused by insect pests as well as ways to foster a community of insects that help forests to stay healthy and strong over the long-term.
