Joshua Moyer specializes in the biology of elasmobranch fishes (sharks, skates, and rays). After completing his Bachelors of Science with Departmental Honors in Biology at Millersville University of Pennsylvania, Joshua earned his Masters of Science from Cornell University, where he studied the comparative anatomy of the jaws and teeth of White Sharks and their relatives. Joshua completed his doctoral degree in Organismal and Evolutionary Biology at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, where he studied the anatomy and function of shark feeding. Joshua is currently a lecturer in the Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at Yale University where he teaches courses in comparative vertebrate anatomy and the biology of sharks and their relatives.
Joshua is also the Resident Research Scientist at the Atlantic Shark Institute. He has co-authored papers on shark dentitions and feeding behaviors and has taught college courses in marine biology, evolution, vertebrate anatomy, ichthyology, and histology. A member of the American Society of Ichthyologists and Herpetologists (ASIH) and the American Elasmobranch Society (AES), Joshua enjoys visiting shark localities wherever they may be and working with the many people who share his love of these fascinating fishes.
