Dr. Hyslop's research interests predominantly center on problems in wildlife conservation, particularly those concerning herpetofaunal (reptile and amphibian) species in the eastern United States. Additionally, she is interested in understanding ecological factors that influence patterns of species composition and local population persistence and extinction. Paralleling this, she is concerned with wildlife use of specific resources within a landscape, including spatial requirements and habitat features which are critical for the persistence of populations in a geographic region.
Currently, she is involved with research on Eastern Box Turtles and another project on the chytrid fungus and local amphibian populations.
Additionally, Dr. Hyslop is the Principle Investigator for the STEM Scholars Program (STEMS Program) which awards scholarships to academically talented, low income students.
