Biographical Sketch Tiffany Sacra Garcia Bob and Phyllis Mace Watchable Wildlife Chair Dept. of Fisheries, Wildlife, and Conservation Biology Oregon State University I am a Professor in the Department of Fisheries and Wildlife at Oregon State University. My research interests lie in quantifying the direct effects of environmental stressors on amphibian populations as well as the indirect effects on associated aquatic pond and stream communities. I study the effects of environmental stress on communities in both natural and disturbed contexts, and across spatial and temporal scales. Due to global declines in amphibian populations, disappearing habitats, changing climates, invading species and contaminated effluents, investigation into the cascading effects of stress throughout biological communities is imperative. My goal is to dissect the mosaic of factors influencing aquatic communities, population genetics, and amphibian life histories across landscapes.
