About
I'm curious about snails, both in freshwater and on land, and that includes slugs. I have worked on several globally-rare snails and some snail ecology questions in the Northeastern US. There are lots of other critters and habitats in which I'm interested, including butterflies, tiger beetles, old growth forests, native grasslands and wetlands. Appalachian Conservation Biology is my environmental consulting company. See my ResearchGate page here: https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Kenneth_Hotop... My collaborator on our Maine snail project is Dr. Judith Roe at the University of Maine Presque Isle - she's helping us sort out the identity and evolutionary relationships of these pondsnails.
