GRADUATE STUDENTS

Raymond B.  Huey (M. A., 1969). "Ecological Relations of Sympatric Phyllodactylus in the Sechura Desert of Peru." Ph. D., Harvard  University (1975). Miller Postdoctoral Research Fellow, Univ.  California at Berkeley; Professor,  University of Washington, Seattle,  Washington. W. Frank Blair was actually Huey's supervisor, but I  was on his committee and we spent a lot of time together before he  became my research assistant and we studied the ecology of Kalahari  Desert lizards. He and I both consider our mentor-pupil relationship  as an unofficial sponsorship. Huey retired in 2013 (HueyFest) and is now Professor and Chair Emeritus at the Department of Biology at the  University of Washington.
