Current Research Interests and Subject Areas Available for Graduate Research
I study (1) the ecology and conservation of birds and (2) current and historic distributions of vertebrates in Oklahoma. I welcome inquiries from students interested in pursuing a broad range of graduate research projects as well as those that share my current research interests, which are:
- Application of stable isotope techniques to understand the migratory ecology of songbirds.
- Riparian zone ecology and management, particularly the impact of riparian vegetation structure on animal communities
- Impacts of land management practices on the distribution and abundance of grassland birds
- Distribution and abundance of vertebrates of Oklahoma
