| Areas of Expertise/Interest:
Areas of interest and expertise include: (1) various aspects of the feeding ecology of waterfowl, such as food use, nutrition, energetics, and more recently large scale studies of the extent of food depletion by waterfowl wintering in the Mississippi Alluvial Valley; (2) design of stratified and multi-stage population and habitat surveys at spatial scales matching the landscape perspective of current bird conservation plans and use of double sampling designs to assess biases associated with population and habitat surveys; and (3) estimating survival rates, identifying mortality sources, and exploring strategies to use adaptive experiments to learn about effects of managing winter habitat on population dynamics of mallards. |
