Chris Bibbs
Master's Student [Chris is pursuing his Master's degree with Drs. Dawn Gouge and Wendy Moore]
My research has the primary goals of mapping the foraging patterns of the native bark scorpion, Centruroides sculpturatus, in urban environments, using this data to intercept and trap this species in areas of high population density and build a case for relocation to non-urban sites as an alternative control protocol. My personal interests in academia include every subject with respect to venomous species, with strongest emphasis on behavior, ecology, biogeography, phylogenetics, biochemistry, and physiology of venomous species. My specialty is Latrodectus spiders.
