Wildlife Science
Increase and disseminate knowledge about wildlife species, populations,
and communities and how they relate to ecosystem structure and
functioning and respond to environmental changes.

DeWoody's
students are studying the evolutionary genetics of mammals, birds, amphibians,
and fishes. One common theme is the use of genetic markers
to make inferences about parentage and relatedness in natural
populations; another is the molecular evolution of genes and
genomes.

| Dr. Rhodes and his students focus
on research questions pertaining to wildlife ecology and population
genetics. Focal research areas include: studies of the genetic
consequences of species reintroduction programs, the use of
genetic markers in applied wildlife management, conservation
of genetic diversity in wildlife species, the use of genetic
markers to elucidate mating systems, movement behavior, and
population structure of wildlife species, studies of genetic
structure, gene flow and the mating system of black walnut,
ecological aspects of crop depredation by wildlife, and the
scavenging and movement behaviors of terrestrial vertebrates. |

| Swihart and his students address
the effects of habitat fragmentation on wildlife, population
and community ecology of mammals, spatial ecology, and plant-herbivore
interactions. They rely on mathematical, experimental, and
comparative approaches to study the importance of spatial structure
for behavioral and ecological processes. Their work spans levels
of biological organization from individuals to communities
and spatial scales ranging from microsites to continents. An
ultimate goal is to develop quantitative tools for informing
policy makers of the consequences of land-use change for biodiversity
and species conservation. |
