Environmental Biology majors publish work

Several current or former Environmental Biology majors are authors or co-authors of papers to appear in scientific publications.  Clinton Nienhaus ’13 and Collin Neinhaus ’15 are the authors of “A Pack of Wild ‘Dogfish’: Aggregation by Adult Amia Calva,” which will appear in American Currents, the bulletin of the North American Native Fishes Association.

“Fin Anomalies in Blacknose Dace (Rhinichthys atratulus) from Southern Minnesota” by Melissa Markert ’10 will appear in a later issue of the same publication.  Jacob Zanon ’09 is a co-author of “The Horsehair Worm Gordionus violaceus (Nematomorpha: Gordiida) in Minnesota,” to appear in the Great Lakes Entomologist. Markert and Zanon are both currently graduate students in SMU’s Resource Analysis program. Mark Ross ’13 and Tom Walker ’13 are co-authors of “Early Spawning by the American Brook Lamprey (Lethenteron appendix) in Southeastern Minnesota,” which will be published in the Canadian Field-Naturalist.  Twenty-five percent of SMU graduates in Environmental Biology since 2000 have been the author or co-author of at least one published article.
