研究领域

The research conducted by myself and with my graduate students typically relates to acquiring information that can be used by resource managers in maintaining wildlife or biodiversity. Our work focuses on mammals, birds, and herpetofauna. We often work with management agencies such as Parks Canada (national parks), provincial departments of natural resources and wildlife, and industry. As Director of the New Brunswick Cooperative Fish and Wildlife Research Unit, I assist provincial wildlife managers with some of their research questions. My area of personal interest is in meso-carnivore ecology.
