James Johnson

James Johnson is a Professor at Central Washington University, affiliated with the Science Building, where he has established a distinguished career in biological sciences with emphasis on fungal and ecological research.

His educational qualifications include:

• Ph.D. in Botany from The University of Tennessee (1997)
• M.S. in Botany from Eastern Illinois University (1992)

Johnson's research program integrates Mycology, molecular systematics, molecular ecology, and amphibian disease studies, creating interdisciplinary connections between fungal biology and ecological conservation. His work demonstrates consistent innovation in applying molecular techniques to biodiversity documentation and disease ecology, particularly through DNA barcoding applications and phylogenetic analyses of fungal taxa.

Publication trends reveal a strategic evolution from foundational fungal systematics (1997-2002) toward applied ecological and herpetological research (2008), with concurrent contributions to biology education methodology. The 2008 works showcase dual expertise in amphibian disease ecology and educational pedagogy.
