Biography and Research Information
OverviewAI-generated summary
Stephen J. Mullin is a Professor of Biological Sciences at Arkansas State University. His research interests include animal behavior, ecology, and conservation, with a particular focus on snakes and amphibians. Mullin's work has investigated the foraging ecology of gray rat snakes, examining how visual stimuli and varied habitats influence prey location and capture. He has also studied the climbing performance of snakes in relation to avian nest predation and the importance of ground refuges for biodiversity in agricultural landscapes. His research has explored how forest management practices can support native snake populations in urban environments and how the variation in surrounding forest habitat affects the orientation of juvenile amphibians emigrating from breeding ponds. Mullin has also examined the responses of pond-breeding amphibian communities to the experimental removal of predatory fish and investigated fish populations within mangrove prop roots of small overwash islands.
Mullin holds a B.A. in zoology from the University of California, Berkeley, an M.S. in zoology from the University of South Florida, and a Ph.D. in biology from the University of Memphis. His scholarly metrics include an h-index of 16, with 61 total publications and 624 total citations. He has collaborated on research with colleagues at Arkansas State University, including Kevin J. Krajcir, Lorin A. Neuman‐Lee, Jennifer Terry, and Katherine J. Willis.
