Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Ethan J. Royal conducts research focused on wildlife ecology, with a particular emphasis on herpetofauna. His work investigates the influence of environmental factors, such as landscape characteristics, vegetation, and land use history, on animal populations and their behaviors. Recent publications explore the occupancy patterns of prairie-associated herpetofauna in relation to legacy land use, and the effects of habitat degradation and restoration on the thermal ecology of box turtles. Royal also studies translocation strategies for box turtles in urbanizing environments and examines foraging behaviors in pygmy rattlesnakes, influenced by prey species presence. His research network includes collaborators such as Gabriel L. Yerdon, Meredith C. Swartwout, and Ethan C. Hollender from the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville. Royal's scholarly output includes 7 publications with 17 citations and an h-index of 3.
