Kasey Pregler is the Assistant Unit Leader of the U.S. Geological Survey, New Mexico Cooperative Fish and Wildlife Research Unit and Affiliate Assistant Professor in FWCE. Kasey completed her undergraduate and MS degrees at the University of Connecticut, and received their Ph.D. from Colorado State University. Prior to arriving at New Mexico State University, Kasey was a Chancellor’s postdoctoral fellow at the University of California, Berkeley.
Dr. Pregler’s research program uses demographic and genetic data to answer questions in ecology, evolution, and conservation biology of freshwater fishes. To that end her research centers on three main themes: (1) understanding and mitigating threats to small, fragmented populations, (2) ecological and evolutionary impacts following management interventions, & (3) environmental drivers of fish population dynamics.
