Parasite Occurrence of Quails in Trans-Pecos, Texas

In May of 2017, I graduated from Texas A&M University with a Bachelor of Science in Wildlife and Fisheries Sciences. After graduation, I worked various research technician jobs across the country. I began pursuing a Master of Science in Range and Wildlife Management at Sul Ross State University in January of 2019. I am currently employed by Borderlands Research Institute as a Graduate Research Assistant. The focus of my project is to determine the occurrence of parasites in quails of the Trans-Pecos ecoregion of Texas. To do this, I am harvesting quail from ranches across the region and conducting necropsies in the lab to collect baseline data. I am currently working to identify factors that may influence parasite abundance in these samples. In the future, we aim to build off of this data in an effort to determine the effects that parasites have on quail survival.
