Matthew Stephen Lattanzio is an Associate Professor at The College of New Jersey's Department of Biology, Chemistry and Environmental Science, and Graduate Program Director for the Center for Sustainability in Education. His research integrates evolutionary ecology, behavioral ecology, and physiological responses of reptiles and amphibians to environmental stressors.
- Ph.D. in Biological Sciences, Ohio University
- M.S. in Biological Sciences, East Stroudsburg University of Pennsylvania
- B.S. in Biology, The College of New Jersey
Lattanzio's research focuses on ecomorphology, UV exposure trade-offs, and climate-driven polymorphism in lizards. He employs field and isotopic methods to study behavioral thermoregulation, predator deterrence, and adaptive coloration.
His 15 most recent articles (2016-2024) emphasize lizard behavioral ecology, climate adaptation, and UV-thermal physiology. Keywords span Ecology, Environmental Science, and Evolutionary Biology, with subfields including color polymorphism, thermal ecology, and disturbance response. Articles show a consistent focus on Sceloporus and Urosaurus species.
