Project: Comparative Landscape Genetics Between Pseudacris maculata and Anaxyrus cognatus


About Sophia Rivera

I am passionate about the intersections between Environmental Science and Biology, specifically between herpetofauna and climate change. The goal of this project is to assess landscape genetics between two amphibians across New Mexico. With habitat degradation and climate change posing a threat to these populations, it is important to understand how landscape effects their gene flow.
