Research Interests
Ethology and Ornithology. My former laboratory at the University of Wisconsin and my continuing field research program at Archbold Biological Station have focused on avian behavior. Nevertheless, my published research has ranged wider - to the ethology of other organisms (e.g., insects, fishes, amphibians, reptiles and mammals) and to ornithology other than behavior (e.g., distribution and migration, plumage and soft-part coloration, growth, ecological adaptations, and general life history). Research has often emphasized vocal communication, vision, and (more recently) cognitive abilities, especially of birds. Although the program is one of basic research, much of it purposefully explores topics of potential relevance to conservation, with emphases on species whose populations are or may become threatened (e.g., loggerhead, endangered procellariiform birds, Florida scrub-jays).Selected Recent Publications
