Dr. Heffernan received her Ph.D. in 昆虫学 from the University of Florida. She has also completed two postdoctoral appointments; one evaluating the population genetics of Gulf of Mexico sturgeon and the other with the U.S. 环境保护署 on predicting the risk of near shore marine species to extinction due to climate change.

Her primary research interests are on animal populations that are small or declining and she focuses on butterflies, many of which are state or federally-endangered. Dr. Heffernan uses a combination of field and laboratory based methods to evaluate the current status of small populations and couples this with museum-based research to evaluate historical population trends. 在她的分子实验室, she uses techniques to evaluate small tissue samples of butterflies to determine remaining levels of genetic diversity, 基因流, 和近亲繁殖. Genomic scans from next-generation sequencing has recently been useful at identifying novel molecular markers for her work. She has received multiple grants from the United States Fish & Wildlife Service and other state and federal agencies to support this research. She works with her students to evaluate and summarize all relevant data and communicate findings to assist with species management plans.

Dr. Heffernan teaches a variety of lecture and laboratory courses including Ecology, 保护生物学, 昆虫学, Principles of Ecological Management, and Introduction to 环境研究. Dr. Heffernan regularly supports Pollination Ecology tutorials and clubs in addition to her work with the 萨拉索塔 Honey Company and our campus bee hives (on the Caples campus). Dr. Heffernan stresses the importance of quantitative data analysis, 批判性思维, and working successfully in a group in all her courses.

请注意: Dr. Emily Heffernan has published under the last name 沙里宁.
