She has previously worked on acclimation potential in California giant salamanders as well as looking at parasite interactions in local amphibian communities. She is broadly interested in amphibian conservation especially as it relates to climate change. For her thesis Bria is looking at road pressure on California newts as well as disease dynamics within the newt community at Point Reyes National Seashore.

Her study takes place in the Pyrenees Mountains on the border between France and Spain and is a collaboration with the P3 Project. Previously, she worked on marine trophic webs at Point Blue Conservation Science in Petaluma, CA. She received her BA in Integrative Biology from UC Berkeley in 2015. Her honors thesis focused on the growth rate of post-fire fungi. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ac3cb2e697a98af917d0120/1528489972640-VOG47MR6SSTPH3LD0LMW/kurt.PNG Personnel - kurt lutz Kurt was an undergraduate at SF State University. He is interested in studying amphibian conservation and is currently focused on studying the effects of dams on amphibian populations. In particular, he is studying how dam construction can lead to invasion of non-native species (of amphibians and amphibiian predators) and to isolation of remaining populations of native amphibians. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ac3cb2e697a98af917d0120/1530636031057-AG7GKBN8MSJXMZI7V8IO/IMG_Bio_Pic.jpg Personnel - Rachel Townsend Rachel received her undergraduate degrees in Environmental Science and Spanish from the University of Iowa. She currently works as a biologist with the Golden Gate National Recreation Area, and studies both aquatic and wildlife species. She is co-advised by Tom Parker and for her masters thesis she utilizes wildlife cameras to research trophic level interactions and community structure among mammalian communities in parklands of the Bay Area. https://www.vredenburglab.com/publications daily 0.75 2026-03-29 https://www.vredenburglab.com/prospective-students daily 0.75 2024-03-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ac3cb2e697a98af917d0120/1522810060294-79V9CESJSPK5MLF5YT8V/DSC07964.jpg Prospective Students https://www.vredenburglab.com/anti-racism daily 0.75 2021-10-06 https://www.vredenburglab.com/collaborators daily 0.75 2018-04-05 https://www.vredenburglab.com/microbiome daily 0.75 2018-04-03 https://www.vredenburglab.com/batrachochytrium-dendrobatidis daily 0.75 2021-05-14 https://www.vredenburglab.com/batrachochytrium-dendrobatidis-1 daily 0.75 2022-07-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ac3cb2e697a98af917d0120/7d06ce45-6bd3-4965-a17f-ca8cb2b58606/snapslogoJ.jpg Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.vredenburglab.com/statistical-analyses daily 0.75 2018-04-06 https://www.vredenburglab.com/grants-and-meetings daily 0.75 2018-05-31 https://www.vredenburglab.com/newtdieoff daily 0.75 2023-01-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ac3cb2e697a98af917d0120/9d93c2de-3cfa-465f-a371-39eebacbba6d/_MG_5023.jpg Building Case Criteria for Dying Newts Image from a die off observed at Point Reyes National Seashore in 2014
