Dr. Hayley Crowell, Ph.D., is an evolutionary ecophysiologist interested in the secret world of animal coloration. The majority of her work focuses on large-scale patterns and physiological consequences of "hidden colors" (i.e., ultraviolet and near-infrared) in snakes and lizards, with rattlesnakes being the main focus of much of her research. Hayley holds PhD in Ecology and Evolution from the University of Michigan, a M.S. in Biological Sciences from California Polytechnic State University, and a B.S. in Ecology and Environmental Biology from Shippensburg State University of Pennsylvania. She has nearly 20 years of experience working with numerous species of reptiles and amphibians throughout the United States, Caribbean, Europe, and South America. Hayley also holds a certificate in museum studies and has a deep love of natural history collections which she uses extensively throughout her research and natural history adventures.
