Who is Terri Donovan?
Terri Donovan (formally, Therese) is the Assistant Unit Leader for the Vermont Cooperative Fish and Wildlife Research Unit. She was first introduced to spreadsheet modeling by Rollie Lamberson (Humboldt State University), and later developed two books (with Charles Welden) on using spreadsheets to teach basic concepts in ecology, evolution, and conservation biology. Currently, she is working on three e-books that teach quantitative methods in these fields. Terri’s research interests are broad and center on the impacts of land use change on biodiversity (e.g., habitat fragmentation and loss), as well as research targeted towards species of high conservation priority in the state of Vermont.
