OverviewAI-generated summary
Stephen J. Mullin's research focuses on the health and immunity of snakes, particularly species within the genus *Nerodia*. His work investigates the complex interactions between hosts and pathogens, with a recent emphasis on Snake Fungal Disease. Mullin also examines physiological and ecological factors influencing snake populations, including the impacts of stress on reproduction and immune function, as well as dietary composition and habitat selection.
His publications explore various aspects of snake biology, such as comparing immune responses to treatments like lipopolysaccharide, investigating the effects of management practices on snake populations within forest food webs, and analyzing the occupancy and microhabitat selection of sympatric watersnake species. Mullin also studies the dynamics of fungal diseases in snakes and has published on methods for measuring dietary composition in these animals.
Mullin holds a Ph.D. in biology from the University of Memphis. He has a h-index of 15, with 60 total publications and 587 citations. He has collaborated on multiple publications with researchers at Arkansas State University, including Kevin J. Krajcir, Lorin A. Neuman‐Lee, Jennifer Terry, and Katherine J. Willis.
