Jared Dickson

Jared Dickson holds dual roles as Lecturer and Research Associate in the Biology Department at The University of Texas at Tyler. His primary responsibilities include teaching undergraduate courses and conducting ecological research.

Research focuses on freshwater mussel ecology in East Texas, examining habitat associations, population genetics of imperiled species, and impacts of species relocations. Parallel studies investigate life histories of crayfish species (Procambarus dupratzi and Procambarus kensleyi) and habitat selection patterns in regional ecosystems. Current projects emphasize conservation biology applications for endangered aquatic species.

Teaching portfolio includes Plant Biology (BIOL 3339), Ecology (BIOL 3336), General Biology I (BIOL 1307), and introductory Life Sciences courses. Laboratory instruction spans plant biology, ecology, and foundational biological sciences.
