Research Interests

My research interests focus on understanding what ecological factors influence how grassland species use habitat patches in the agricultural landscape of the Great Plains.

Wolfenbarger

Research projects include understanding the responses of avian communities and reproduction to habitat variation and to management practices on restored grasslands, remnant prairies and marginal agricultural habitats. Dr. John McCarty and I collaborate extensively on research and co-advise graduate students.
