OverviewAI-generated summary

Ethan J. Royal investigates the ecology and conservation of herpetofauna, with a focus on how landscape characteristics and human land use influence species occupancy and behavior. His research has examined the effects of prairie degradation and restoration on box turtle thermal ecology, as well as evaluating translocation strategies for these animals in urbanizing environments. Royal has also studied the foraging behaviors of pygmy rattlesnakes in relation to prey species presence and explored drivers of capture probability in semi-aquatic snakes. His work contributes to understanding species adaptation to altered environments and informs conservation efforts. Royal's recent publications include studies on herpetofaunal assemblages in Gulf Coastal Plain pine forests and snake assemblages in coastal Maine.
