Student Internship/Job  Opportunities

 

My Research Interests:  I am an ecologist with research interests in vertebrate behavioral ecology, community ecology, and conservation biology. During the past 20 years, I've worked in Antarctica, Newfoundland, and Maine on a variety of projects concerning the ecology and conservation of fish, mice, deer, beavers, gulls, petrels, guillemots, puffins, skuas and penguins. Although my past focus was the ecology of seabirds, my research now is primarily directed at the study of dragonfly and damselfly distribution, behavior and ecology, butterfly ecography, and lichen community ecology  (Publication List).
