Dr. Epp's work centers on predator-prey interactions, conservation ecology of fish and amphibians, and social behavior in salamanders. She leads a long-term mark-recapture study of Redback Salamanders as part of a regional collaborative involving 20+ research teams.
Her research has been published in journals like Amphibia-Reptilia and Behaviour, focusing on chemical ecology, conservation strategies, and behavioral adaptations of imperiled species in aquatic environments.
Students engage in her research through hands-on participation, with over 100 Eastern Connecticut State University students involved annually in salamander studies.
