Dr. Moore teaches
courses in marine biology, zoology, and conservation. His research includes the
ecology, evolution, and distribution of deep-sea fishes and other animals. He
also has interests in the biodiversity of scrub and flatwood habitats in
Florida, the conservation of endangered species, and in herpetology (especially
tortoises and lizards). Dr. Moore came to the Honors College from both Woods
Hole Oceanographic Institution and National Marine Fisheries Service in Woods
Hole, MA where he was a visiting scientist. More information is available at
the website below, along with a CV and pdf files of various published papers.

His research revolves
around the ecology, evolution, and conservation of marine and terrestrial
organisms and their habitats. This allows my students and I to study diverse
topics around Florida and elsewhere.
Particular areas of
research include: the ecology, systematics, and evolution of deep-sea fishes;
ecology of seamounts; ecology and conservation of gopher tortoises and their
habitat; ecology of Florida's reptiles and amphibians, including studies of
invasive species, such as northern curlytail lizards (Leiocephalus carinatus
armouri), green iguanas (Iguana iguana) and hemidactyline geckos;
conservation of Florida scrub habitat, including studies of the endangered
perforate lichen (Cladonia perforata) and endangered fragrant prickly
apple cactus (Harrisia fragrans). (Text Borrowed from his website)
He also maintains a tortoise page on FaceBook . You can find
