As
an instructor, I am interested in teaching students about techniques and
issues in wildlife ecology relevant to biologists living and working in the
southeast. Many of my classes emphasize field-based data collection,
application of quantitative analyses to these data, and written and oral
presentation of the results. As a researcher, I'm interested in the non-breeding season ecology of migratory birds. My focus is population ecology, but I use behavioral and physiological studies of individual birds to better understand population processes. |
