David L. Haskins studies how environmental contaminants like mercury and PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, a group of persistent industrial chemicals) affect wildlife, particularly reptiles such as turtles, watersnakes, and alligators, as well as birds and fish. His work combines toxicology, disease ecology, and conservation biology to understand how pollutants and pathogens influence the health, physiology, and survival of aquatic and semi-aquatic animals.
