Sara Bebus serves as Visiting Assistant Professor at Siena University since 2023, following prior appointments as Visiting Assistant Professor at Bennington College (2021-2023) and Lecturer at California State University San Marcos (2020-2021). Her academic foundation includes a Ph.D. from the University of Memphis, M.S. from Florida Atlantic University, and B.S. from the University of Minnesota.

Her educational credentials:

• Ph.D. from University of Memphis
• M.S. from Florida Atlantic University
• B.S. from University of Minnesota

As an integrative biologist, Dr. Bebus specializes in animal behavior, stress physiology, and conservation biology, with primary focus on song birds. Her research examines physiological-behavioral development across species, particularly investigating corticosterone stress responses and their impact on adaptation, learning, and survival strategies in avian populations. This work bridges laboratory endocrinology with field conservation applications.

Her publication record (2015-2020) reveals consistent emphasis on stress-physiology-behavior interactions, primarily in avian models. Key themes include corticosterone-mediated learning processes, species-specific stress adaptation, and neophobia mechanisms. While predominantly focused on passerine birds, her early work extends to cetacean communication, demonstrating methodological versatility across taxonomic groups through comparative physiological approaches.
