   personal_statement: "Maria\u2019s research interests include: 1) evaluating links\
     \ between floods, temperature, and life history of fishes, 2) developing approaches\
     \ for integrating detections from autonomous PIT antennas into mark-recapture\
     \ models to improve estimation of survival, movement, and abundance, 3) using\
     \ population models to guide decision making, and 4) alternative life history\
     \ strategies and partial migration in fishes."
