The Conservation Behavior Research Lab

How will an animal behaviorally react to a changing environment and can we use this knowledge to predict the effects of rapid human-induced changes on wildlife populations?

​

Can we apply our knowledge of animal behavior to design better wildlife management and mitigation strategies?

 

Can animal behavior be used as an early warning system, forecasting the decline of wildlife populations and alerting us to various changes to the ecosystem?

 

Our aim is to conduct rigorous behavioral research aimed directly at mitigating conservation and wildlife management problems and advising conservation and management decision-makers.
