Research Interests

Jeff Tamplin's research is focused on microhabitat selection, movement and activity patterns, and population structure and genetics of the wood turtle (Glyptemys insculpta), an endangered species in Iowa. He is also interested in temperature preferences and thermoregulation in aquatic turtles, particularly hatchlings and juveniles. In the past, he has studied Triassic and Jurassic reptile fossils from Antarctica, and the effect of acclimation temperature on growth, metamorphosis and temperature selection in tiger salamanders (Ambystoma tigrinum).
