DESCRIPTION: Dr. Taylor has been studying Seaside Sparrows and marsh rice rats in the aftermath of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill and Hurricane Isaac. Dr. Taylor, and her collaborators, have used several approaches to examine how these major ecological disturbances may have affected the sparrows and rats including studies of gene expression, diet, and reproductive success.
