Tantilla LLC is a multidisciplinary professional entity founded by Michael E. Dorcas, Ph.D. (often cited in scholarly publications as Michael Dorcas and occasionally as Mike Dorcas), a biologist and ecologist with more than 30 years of experience in academic research, scientific publishing, and professional consulting.

Through Tantilla LLC, Michael E. Dorcas brings together scientific expertise, consulting, and wildlife art within a single, coherent framework.

The company serves as the parent organization for two complementary divisions: Tantilla Consulting and Tantilla Art . Together, these divisions reflect decades of work in biological research, higher education, scholarly publishing, and creative practice grounded in close observation of the natural world.

Tantilla LLC was established to provide a stable and credible professional platform supporting the scholarly, applied, and creative work of Michael Dorcas. While consulting and artistic work are carried out through distinct platforms, both are informed by the same foundation of scientific rigor, precision, and long-term engagement with biodiversity.
