Research Focus 
Seaside Sparrow Population Demographics on the

Northern Gulf Coast

 

Project Summary

I am interested in examining the differences in population demographics and genetics between different subspecies of Seaside Sparrows. My primary study site was located on the Gulf Coast in Jackson County Mississippi. Additionally, I am interested in modeling the effect of sea level rise on Gulf Coast Seaside Sparrow populations. Although it was not part of my original research focus, the BP oil spill will influence the future directions of my research.

Research is funded by the USFWS through the Gulf Coast Joint Venture and by the Georgia Ornithological Society.
