Biography:

Denny Radabaugh, behavioral biologist, has found spiders to be especially good experimental models over the last 20 years (see photo of colonial spiders in Ecuador). Although he retired as Professor and Chair of the Zoology Department in the spring of 2008, he maintains an office (CWSC 193) and a corner of a lab where he continues to work on projects of interest. First, he is organizing his spider collections to make them useful for future students and faculty members, and he is extending the collections from OWU's Kraus and Bohannon Nature Preserves. Second, he is developing an image-rich web site on Galapagos plants, an interest he cultivated on his many trips to the Galapagos Islands, starting in 1974. Finally, he is organizing, and creating an inventory of historically important scientific reprints collected by, among others, internationally-known Professor Edward Rice in the early 1900's. He welcomes contacts from current students who may share these interests.
