Applied Wildlife Management Lab
The faculty in Wildlife and Outdoor Enterprise Management (WOEM) are interested in solving problems related broadly to wildlife management and conservation. We use hypothesis-driven science to investigate questions relating to species’ distributions, habitat selection, disease ecology, population demographics, biodiversity conservation, harvest management, and restoration ecology. Our research programs vary across taxa and generally have an applied focus.
Because our research interests are relatively diverse, we welcome students (graduate and undergraduate) who are creative, motivated, and intensely curious about the natural world.
