Well, it could be creationist zoologists, or satanist school teachers, or transgender fashion models. But of course it’s psychologists studying psychologists, and of course it’s reiterating an interesting narrative we’ve seen before.
One would expect creationists to be underrepresented in zoology for a number of reasons, only one of which is that zoologists have negative beliefs about creationists and tend not to hire or encourage them. Others would include that creationists may avoid studying zoology because they find the subject matter unpleasantly contradictory to their existing commitments; and that some people previously inclined to creationism who study zoology cease to be creationists.
Anecdotally, I know at least one creationist zoologist, although I don’t think he publishes creationist stuff. He doesn’t stand out at all or has any noticeable trouble because of it. All zoologists I know are weirder than the average person.
