Erica Bree Rosenblum is an American herpetologist and evolutionary biologist. She is a Professor of Global Change Biology in the department of Environmental Science, Policy, and Management at the University of California Berkeley. She is also the director of Berkeley Connect, a mentorship program for undergraduate students.[1] Rosenblum’s main research areas include a fungus that causes high mortality rates in frogs and evolution in lizards in White Sands, New Mexico.
Education
Erica Bree Rosenblum is originally from Brooklyn, New York.[1] She received her bachelor’s degree with honors from Brown University in ecology and evolutionary biology in 1996.[1] In 2005, Rosenblum graduated with her Ph.D. in Integrative Biology from University of California Berkeley.[1]
Research
Erica Bree Rosenblum has published over 100 papers and has received over 3500 citations in total.[2] She is known for her research on the fungus Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis that has caused high mortality rates and near extinction in some frog species.[3] She is also known for her work in the evolution and speciation of lizards in White Sands, New Mexico.[4] Rosenblum is often recognized for her effort to cause as little impact on the species she is researching as possible.[citation needed]
