My name is Bill and I'm a graduate student at the University of Missouri-Columbia in the Evolution and Ecology program. I'm interested in conservation biology, specifically the conservation of herpetofauna (amphibians and reptiles) and their habitat. I'm currently researching "The Effects of Riparian Widths on Larval and Metamorphic Salamander Population Dynamics" in the Southern Appalachian Mountains, where I reside for 3 months of the year. For more information go to my Mizzou bio page


The majority of my photos are herp related, but you'll also notice pictures of me with a beautiful young lady named Kimberly, who for a small price agreed to marry me. As of September 15, 2007 we are happily married!

Besides herpetology and photography, I enjoy birding, geocaching, and running.

If you are interested in learning more about many of the animals that I have pictures of, I recommend searching the AmphibiaWeb Database or visiting the All Taxa Biodiversity Inventory (ATBI) Website where you can look up information about Amphibians and Reptiles . You'll likely see many of my photos at these websites.

Thanks for checking out my photos, feel free to let me know what you think (Bill.Peterman@gmail.com).
