Biography
Gylla A. MacGregor has been with Keuka College since 2017. Prior to that, she was a Conservation Ecologist and GIS Project Director for New Jersey Audubon. While she considers herself a behavioral ecologist, her training and background are broad, as evidenced by the wide range of courses she loves and enjoys teaching, in both biology and environmental science. She’s particularly drawn to fieldwork and has engaged in research studies on timber rattlesnakes, bog turtles, grassland birds, deer and forest health, small mammals, and the regal fritillary butterfly, to name a few. She’s a strong believer in undergraduate research, which provides both hands-on learning and the development of critical skills that can be carried to graduate school or the professional market. Habitat restoration, geospatial mapping of wildlife habitat, problem-solving in raccoons, diatoms as an indicator of water quality, bait preference in small mammals, amphibians and water quality, and habitat preference of isopods are some examples of projects that students have engaged in. She encourages students to visit her office, check things out, and Believe in What We Can Do Together!
