Zoology

Research interests are in mammalogy; mammalian population ecology and management; introduced species and interactions with native species; rare and endangered species. Mammalian species studied previously include various shrews, mice, and bats; black-tailed jackrabbit; eastern woodrat; sika and white-tailed deer; elk; and bison.
