Research

My research centers on wildlife/habitat relationships. I have conducted such research over most of North America. A current research focus is wildlife in the ru­ral-urban interface because it provides excellent opportunities to study vertebrate populations in fragmented habitats. We are working to integrate amenity and ecological values of wildlife into urban planning and new designs for urban development. I also work on developing more appropriate ethical standards for the use of animals in field re­search.
