Congrats Stephanie!

Stephanie Sickler successfully defended her thesis, “Long-term trends of stream fish community assemblages in southern Missouri with contemporary land use impacts” on 8 May! She collected fish community data at 45 sites in SW Missouri and analyzed how the communities differ with varying land-use at three spatial scales. Further, she examined patterns of fish occupancy based on 46 years of Ichthyology class surveys (plus her sampling). Stephanie is headed to South Dakota for a technician job this summer.
