Research summary

Matthew T. Hamilton's research focuses on how wildlife—especially American alligators and other reptiles—respond physiologically to environmental and human-induced stressors, such as capture, handling, and exposure to contaminants like selenium and mercury. His work also extends to wildlife ecology topics such as invasive species management (brown tree snakes and scavengers on Guam), landscape effects on mammal populations, and some unrelated work on medical imaging datasets and radiation exposure. Overall, the body of work combines physiological biomarkers (stress hormones, antioxidant enzymes, blood cells) with broader ecological and conservation questions.
