RESEARCH / PERSONAL INTERESTS

Dr. Sever is interested in Herpetology in general. In particular, Dr. Sever is well-known for over thirty years of work on the secondary sexual characters of salamanders, including the anatomy, function, and evolution of their skin glands and cloacal glands. Other studies done by Dr. Sever have involved ecology and behaviour, and he also discovered and named the species Eurycea junaluska, a salamander restricted to the southern Appalachian Mountains. Hobbies include golf, travel, photography, SCUBA, and fine wines and whiskies.
