Eric G. Bright

Eric G. Bright is an Instructor in the School of Biological Sciences at the University of Oklahoma. His primary research focuses on wetland ecology, forensic entomology, and community ecology with an emphasis on aquatic invertebrates and their responses to environmental changes. He has conducted extensive studies on playa wetlands, riverine ecosystems, and fire impacts on aquatic communities.

Dr. Bright holds a Ph.D. from the University of Oklahoma, an M.S. from the University of Georgia, and a B.A. from Wabash College. His work spans multiple disciplines including forensic entomology applications, wetland conservation, and the effects of human activities on riverine ecosystems.

Recent publications (2024-2009) demonstrate his expertise in arthropod toxicology, tick repellent development, and biogeographical studies of medically significant insects. His research on fire resilience in playa wetlands and spatial distribution of invertebrate communities has advanced understanding of disturbance ecology.
