Allison Bogisich

Allison Bogisich (B.A. Whitman College; M.S. University of San Francisco) is a Research Technician at the Memphis Zoo. She has broad interests in genetics and heredity and has conducted phylogenetic work on puddle frogs from Myanmar. Her research at the zoo primarily focuses on amphibian reproduction, captive-breeding, conservation translocations and post-release monitoring for dusky gopher frogs. Her overall research goal is to find differences between captive-bred and naturally breeding amphibian populations in order to better optimize conservation efforts that aim to protect species from going extinct in the wild.
