معرفی
Michael Sitvarin is a Visiting Assistant Professor in the Biology Department at Union College. His research focuses on predator-prey interactions, particularly using spiders as model organisms, and explores topics such as sensory ecology, cannibalism, sexual selection, and ecological impacts of predation. He holds a B.S. from Muhlenberg College and a Ph.D. from Miami University. Sitvarin teaches courses like Intro to Environmental Science and actively engages students in research opportunities. His work bridges field observations with laboratory experiments to understand ecological dynamics and invasive species management. Despite not currently listed with major grants or awards, his publications emphasize analytical methodologies, invasive species impacts, and symbiotic relationships in arthropods.
