Dr. Steve Wagner is an Associate Professor of Biological Sciences at Central Washington University and teaches courses ranging from genetics to herpetology. He has been an active member of SNVB since 1999, when he was a graduate student at Oregon State University and focused research on population genetics of forest-associated salamanders in the Pacific Northwest. His current work uses molecular and field techniques to address issues of wildlife decline including a road ecology project for the Washington Department of Transportation on amphibians related to the Interstate-90 Snoqualmie East Project, the impact of Bd and Saprolegnia on amphibians, landscape genetics and phylogeny. Since 2005 he has directed a field school in the Yellow Mountains of China focused on long-term monitoring of amphibians and behavioral ecology of primates, and has also conducted similar research in Borneo and Ecuador. In 2010, he received the first SNVB Mentorship and Teaching award for his contributions to supporting student involvement in the Society for Northwestern Vertebrate Biology.
