Dr. John B. Dunning is a wildlife ecologist and Associate Professor in Forestry and Natural Resources at Purdue University. Barny received his Ph.D. from the University of Arizona (Tucson, AZ, 1986) in the field of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, and a B.S. in Biology from Kent State University (Kent, OH, 1978). His Ph.D. dissertation dealt with foraging ecology and community structure of towhees, a group of sparrows native to the southwestern United States. While at Arizona, he also studied the urban communities of native and exotic birds in the neighborhoods of Tucson, the physiology and population ecology of native birds in the surrounding deserts and mountains, and the distribution of birds in the neighboring state of Sonora, Mexico. Before coming to Purdue, Dr. Dunning worked in managed forests of the
southeastern United States as a research scientist at the University
of Georgia. He studied the community and landscape ecology of
sparrows. At Purdue he teaches courses in environmental conservation,
global environmental issues, conservation biology and avian ecology.
In his spare time, Barny hikes and camps with his family, watches birds
and enjoys reading and collecting things with his two sons. |
