David K. Britton, Ph.D. David Britton is the Assistant Regional Coordinator for projects concerning Aquatic Nuisance Species in the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service's Southwest Region.David received an Associate of Applied Science Degree from I.T.T Technical Institute in 1990 and a Bachelor’s of Science Degree in Zoology in 1994 from Northern Arizona University. As a graduate student, David received an Environmental Science Research Fellowship from TXU Energy to study the effects of artificially heated water on bioenergetic allocation patterns in a field population of a common pond snail, Physa (Physella) virgata. His thesis explored the consequences of rapid, anthropogenically induced environmental change and the capacity for a common aquatic organism to respond. After graduating in 1998 with a Master’s of Science in Biology from The University of Texas at Arlington under the supervision of Dr. Robert F. McMahon, David studied at the University of Hawaii, Manoa where he received an academic fellowship and a research assistantship the Bishop Museum in Honolulu under the supervision of Dr. Robert H. Cowie. After the birth of his son, David returned home to Texas to complete his Ph.D. at The University of Texas at Arlington under the supervision of Robert F. McMahon and was granted a second fellowship with TXU Energy to study the evolution of thermal tolerance in Gambusia affinis, the Western Mosquitofish, a species native to Texas but invasive in many other parts of the world. In July 2004, David began work for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife. Websites Deleloped by David Britton
