Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Jennifer Terry investigates the physiological responses of reptiles, with a particular focus on immune function and stress physiology. Her work examines how factors such as sex steroids and glucocorticoids influence innate immunity in various turtle and watersnake species. Terry has published research assessing these relationships in wild populations, such as red-eared slider turtles, and in captive individuals. She also studies the impact of environmental stressors and disease challenges on reptilian health. Additionally, Terry has explored the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on academic productivity, examining it as a chronic stressor. Her research network includes collaborators from Arkansas State University, with whom she has co-authored multiple publications.
