RESEARCH
My group studies the ways in which wildlife solve the problems of acquiring enough food and water to meet the needs for survival and reproduction. We mainly study wild ungulates (e.g., reindeer, caribou, moose, muskoxen, white-tailed deer) but also work with waterfowl (e.g. ducks and geese) as well as non-game species (e.g. porcupines and bats) in both wild and captive populations. Our studies aim to provide information that will expand policy options for managing wildlife populations and their habitats.
