Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Brittany L. McCall's research program investigates the physiological adaptations and population characteristics of native fish species, particularly those endemic to the Ozark-Ouachita Mountain region. Her work has focused on species such as the paleback darter (<scp><i>Etheostoma pallididorsum</i></scp>) and the Caddo madtom (<scp><i>Noturus taylori</i></scp>). Recent publications examine the conservation genetics and population dynamics of these narrowly distributed species, as well as their habitat requirements and life histories. A significant area of her current research involves assessing the acclimation capacity and thermal tolerance of these fishes, with implications for understanding their vulnerability to climate change. She has published on critical thermal maxima for endemic catfishes and comparative acclimation capacities between narrow endemic and broadly distributed madtom species. McCall collaborates with fellow researchers at Arkansas State University, including Brook L. Fluker and Orithea Z. Regn, with whom she has co-authored multiple publications.
