Research/Interests
My lab has been involved in the long-term study of Sciurid acoustics and
associated behaviors. Although most studies have focused on the behaviors
of urban populations of eastern gray squirrels, Sciurus carolinensis,
students have completed projects involving a wide variety of other vertebrates.
Current interests include Sciurid time/energy budgets, predator/prey interactions,
interspecific alarm calls, and mating behaviors.
Completed Theses/Dissertations:
-
Julie L. Murray, 1995, Time/Energy Budgets of an Urban Population of Eastern
Gray Squirrels
Theses/Dissertations in progress:
-
Mark T. Jones, 1996, Mating Behaviors of the Eastern Gray Squirrel
