Research Ecologist

Short Biography

Hardin Waddle currently works as a research ecologist for the USGS, where he serves as the principal investigator for the south-central region of the Amphibian Research and Monitoring Initiative (ARMI). His research interests include population ecology and conservation of amphibians and reptiles, primarily in the wetlands and swamps of the southeastern United States. Waddle received his doctorate degree in wildlife ecology from the University of Florida in 2006. He is also an alumnus of Auburn University (B.S. in wildlife science 1996) and Florida International University (M.S. in biology 2000).
