Wildlife

Using modern approaches in genetics, demography and population biology, behavior, and landscape ecology to accomplish our research goals.

sheep capture

Study with researchers working in:

  • conservation and management of wildlife populations, including reintroduction of extirpated mammals to their historic ranges
  • maintenance of biodiversity
  • management of harvested species
  • understanding how wildlife interact with human altered landscapes
  • understanding selection of resources and movement patterns of wildlife species at multiple spatial scales
