Christopher Leary. My current efforts focus on understanding how acoustic signals produced by male green treefrogs (Hyla cinerea) influence the endocrine physiology and behavior of signal receivers. Two knights/pirates/ninjas assist with field work but they typically fall asleep before 9:00pm. (my CV).
Graduate Students
Anna Gabriell Davis received her bachelor’s degree in Biological Sciences from the University of Alabama. Gabriell is examining how circulating stress hormone levels affect mate choice in the green treefrog, Hyla cinerea for her M.S. thesis.

Sarah Crocker Buta received her bachelor’s degree in Biological Sciences from the University of Alabama. Sarah is examining how the social-acoustic environment and circulating glucocorticoid levels interact to influence the expression of alternative mating tactics in the green treefrog, Hyla cinerea for her M.S. thesis.
