Myles Domohowski
Graduate Student
Degree Sought: M.S.
Major Professor: Dr. Jeff Hill, Dr. Quenton Tuckett
Myles Domohowski (known by many as Bog) is a field biologist and M.S. student studying a population of invasive Tropical Clawed Frogs Xenopus tropicalis in Hillsborough County, Florida. Working with Dr. Quenton Tuckett and Dr. Jeff Hill, he is fitting a population viability analysis (PVA) model to this population of frogs to estimate the costs and probability of eradication.
Myles grew up exploring, fishing, and riding motorcycles outside Atlanta, GA. He has a lifelong interest in herpetology and has kept snakes and other herpetofauna his whole life. After graduating high school, he transplanted to Florida to study Natural Resource Conservation and Wildlife Ecology at the University of Florida in Gainesville. Throughout his undergraduate studies, he worked in several positions for the Florida Museum of Natural History and UF Wildlife Department. He became familiar with research collections, specimen preparations, field work, and academic research. Before joining the TAL as a graduate student, he worked with Dr. Coleman Sheehy on a project assessing the diet and distribution of a novel population of Rio Cauca Caecilians Typhlonectes natans in Miami, FL, leading to a greater interest in aquatic and invasive species.
Outside of work, Myles enjoys hiking, fishing, photographing wildlife, or tending to his collection of critters and tropical plants.
