I teach Biology (including Plant Systematics, Local Flora Botany, and Aquatic vascular plants) at Stephen F. Austin State University in Nacogdoches, Texas. I curate the ASTC herbarium, the on-line Pineywoods Plants Digital Gallery (https://james-vankley.com/PineywoodsPlants/index.html), and the SFASU Biology (live plant) Conservatory Collection. My other interests include exploring Nature, botanical photography, music, gardening, mountain biking, hiking, and canoeing. I became involved in photography to document plant diversity long before the existence of inaturlist, so most of my plant imagery is on the Pineywoods Plants website. Most of my Inatualist contributions are from a 2023 excursion to Guyana, South America.
