Jason Rohr is an assistant professor in the Department of Integrative Biology and was a research associate at Penn State from 2004-2007._ His research interests fall at the interface of ecotoxicology, conservation biology, and community, population, behavioral, and disease ecology. He is particularly interested in how anthropogenic changes, mainly pollution and climate change, affect wildlife populations, species interactions, and the spread of disease, and how to manage and monitor biodiversity facing present and future threats. His research has been funded by the National Science Foundation, US Department of Agriculture, National Park Service, and Department of Military and Veterans Affairs. Jason is being hosted by Dr. Hunter Carrick and the School of Forest Resources at Penn State.
