Dr. Jason Bohenek teaches Biostatistics I & II (BIOL 5130, 5140).
Degrees:
Doctor of Philosophy in biology, The University of Mississippi
Bachelor of Science in biology, environmental science, and philosophy, The University of Scranton
Experience:
Bohenek has interests in multiple levels of biological organization ranging from ecophysiology to community ecology. He studies how the environment interacts with development to shape phenotypic trajectories and outcomes, with emphasis on extreme cases known as polyphenisms. He is also interested in predation-risk effects and the emerging field of chemical camouflage, which is when organisms employ camouflage in the olfactory, instead of visual, sense modality. Lastly, he has considerable interest in dispersal and the assembly of ecological communities. In this context, he studies the role of habitat selection in structuring freshwater communities.
