Interested in collaborating? Feel free to contact me. Recent Publication: Proc. R. Soc. B Ph.D. - Biology, University of Saskatchewan M.S. - Raptor Biology, Boise State University B.S. - Biology, SUNY Geneseo I am an avian ecologist with broad interests in how birds respond to environmental change. In particular, I am fascinated by how birds cope (or don’t cope!) with challenging and novel conditions; the implications this has for their physiology, behavior, and fitness; and how this contributes to their prospects in a rapidly changing world. This latter aspect is personally important to me, so I try to ensure that my research produces information relevant to conservation and management.       I approach my research questions from a multidisciplinary perspective and use both field and lab systems. Recently, I have been measuring feather corticosterone in a variety of contexts to better understand avian stress ecology, and this work is producing some very interesting results. I also have a background in raptor population ecology which I have applied (time permitting) to a research and conservation project in Kenya. AVIAN ECOLOGIST Dr. Graham D. Fairhurst Dr. Graham D.
