Peter Zani BIO Peter Zani is curator of amphibians and reptiles for the UWSP Museum of Natural History. Zani has spent the past 25 years doing research on the implications of climate limitations and how a changing climate might alter those limitations for individuals, populations, and species. His approach combines field work, mostly on side-blotched lizards in the high desert of eastern Oregon, semi-controlled outdoor mesocosm experiments of enclosed cohorts of lizards, and controlled-environment laboratory experiments at UWSP. Students in his lab come at problems from the point of view of organismal physiology, ecology, evolution, and behavior. PUBLICATIONS Smith, G., Zani, P. A., & French, S. S. (2019).
