Mary Freeman, Ph.D.
Mary Freeman is a research ecologist with the Eastern Ecological Science Center at Athens, GA.
She received a B.S. in biology (1979), a M.S. in entomology (1982) and a Ph.D. in forest resources (1990) from the University of Georgia. Before joining Patuxent, Mary conducted research for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the National Biological Service in Auburn, AL (1992-1996). Mary serves as affiliate faculty at the Odum School of Ecology, University of Georgia, and on the graduate faculties at the University of Georgia and Auburn University.
Science and Products
Toward improved prediction of streamflow effects on freshwater fishes
Effects of stream intermittency on minnow (Leuciscidae) and darter (Percidae) trophic dynamics in an agricultural watershed
Evaluating the impact of watershed development and climate change on stream ecosystems: A Bayesian network modeling approach
Do crayfish affect stream ecosystem response to riparian vegetation removal?
Integrating tracking and resight data enables unbiased inferences about migratory connectivity and winter range survival from archival tags
Slow recovery of headwater-stream fishes following a catastrophic poisoning event
Mixed evidence for biotic homogenization of southern Appalachian fish communities
A Bayesian framework for assessing extinction risk based on ordinal categories of population condition and projected landscape change
Ecological forecasting—21st century science for 21st century management
Natural resource managers are coping with rapid changes in both environmental conditions and ecosystems. Enabled by recent advances in data collection and assimilation, short-term ecological forecasting may be a powerful tool to help resource managers anticipate impending near-term changes in ecosystem conditions or dynamics. Managers may use the information in forecasts to minimize the adverse ef
Incorporating spatial synchrony in the status assessment of a threatened species with multivariate analysis
Rethinking foundation species in a changing world: The case for Rhododendron maximum as an emerging foundation species in shifting ecosystems of the southern Appalachians
Freshwater crabs (Decapoda: Pseudothelphusidae) increase rates of leaf breakdown in a neotropical headwater stream
