Ron Gutberlet
Ron Gutberlet, Associate Professor of Biological Sciences, has
strong interests in evolutionary biology, citizen science, and
the natural history of reptiles, amphibians, and birds. His
herpetological research has resulted in the description of
several new species and genera of lizards and snakes,
methodological developments in
phylogenetic analysis, and discoveries about the evolution of
pitvipers. He values citizen science as a mechanism for
collecting large quantities of valuable data, while providing
students and othermembers
of the community opportunities to pursue their curiosity about
nature in fun and rewarding ways. He and his students are
contributing to the Maryland Amphibian and Reptile Atlas, the
Delaware Breeding Bird Atlas, and eBird. He serves as the State
eBird Mentor for Maryland and is a member of the Maryland-DC
Bird Records Committee. He also enjoys introducing biology to
students in the classroom, and in support of that serves as a
Course Redesign Scholar for the National Center for Academic
Transformation, a Course Redesign Fellow for the University
System of Maryland, and an Advisory Board member for the next
edition of the textbook Discover Biology
