Snake Ecology Group

A Little Perspective...

The Snake Ecology Group (SEG) is a loosely-defined group of biologists all of whom share common interests in various ecological aspects of ophidian squamates. The spirited enthusiasm of the group more than offsets its lack of formal organization. Our meetings are typically held at field stations or nature centers. Without the distractions of a university campus or a metropolitan area, these settings seem ideally suited for the exchange of ideas and small group interaction.

Meeting history

SEG-I: Turtle Cove Environmental Research Station, Louisiana, August1990; hosted by Richard Seigel
SEG-II: Camp Tyler, Texas, October 1997; hosted by Neil Ford
SEG-III: Ozark Natural Science Center, Arkansas, September 2000; hosted by Steve Beaupre
SEG-IV: Touch of Nature Environmental Center, Illinois; May 2004

The dates of SEG-IV were chosen to facilitate an easy transition for all participants from this conference to the joint herpetological society meetings which commence on 26 May 2004 at the University of Oklahoma
