Dan Knapp, PhD Student
MS, Biology,
University of Alabama, 2020
BS, Biology,
Pennsylvania State University, 2012
Current Project: Investigating the functional role of hellbenders (Cryptobranchus alleganiensis) in southern Appalachian streams.
Dan has broad research interests including, but not limited to, nutrient cycling, behavioral ecology, morphological and developmental plasticity, and predator-prey interactions. For his Master’s research, Dan studied how development, interspecific morphology, and predators influence the body stoichiometry of larval anurans. In addition to extensive lab experience, Dan has spent a great deal of time in the field working for both the Jones Center at Ichauway in Georgia and for the USGS in California.
In his free time, Dan likes to cook, snorkel, fish, and spend time with his wife and two cats.
