Research Interests: |
| Most of my research has been on the behavior, ecology, and
conservation of large mammals. The subjects of my field studies have ranged
from red wolves in Texas to giant anteaters in Brazil. Since 1981, though, the
American bison has been the principle focus of my research. My students and
I have participated in projects addressing bison from ancient archaeological
sites, analysis of historical accounts of bison numbers, movements, and distribution,
bison genetics, social behavior, ecology, and conservation. I have also had
various students conduct research on captive mammals, mainly primates, at the
Tulsa and Oklahoma City Zoos. Another area of research involves the analysis
of media converage of environmental issues. |
