Graduate Assistant
Master's student - FWCB - Dr. Yoichiro Kanno's lab
Graduate Assistant
I’m a PhD student studying how wildfire and mining impact freshwater insects in Rocky Mountain streams. By combining observational and experimental methods, I aim to uncover how these two stressors interact to impact how the ecosystem functions.
Associate Professor
I am a population ecologist interested in quantifying the impacts of anthropogenic factors (e.g. climate change, habitat fragmentation, urbanization) on the ecology, demography, and microevolution of wild animals (mostly birds, mammals, and reptiles). My research calls for the analyses of longitudinal data and methodologies that stem from demography, population ecology, and life history theory.
Professor
I am an applied quantitative ecologist whose research applies to a variety of taxa and focuses on ways of measuring and monitoring biological systems to increase our scientific understanding and improve decision-making. I am particularly interested in factors influencing at-risk species (e.g., amphibians), including disease, invasive species, and habitat change.
Barbara Anthony Cox Chair of Wildlife Conservation
Professor Endowed Chair
I’m a conservation biologist concentrating mostly on lesser-studied mammals (bigger than a bread box) at the planet’s extreme edges. My lab and I target issues about climate challenge, behavioral ecology of disturbance, predator-prey interactions, and how best to inspire with science while (yet) attempting to improve our present human messiness.
Senior Research Scientist, Joint Faculty Appointment-Assistant Professor, Director Larval Fish Lab
I am an aquatic ecologist working mainly on native and endangered fishes and their ecosystems.
Graduate Assistant
PhD student GDPE/FWCB - Veterinary Comparative Medicine Resident
Assistant Professor
I am a conservation biologist that leverages scientific research to find innovative solutions to conserve biodiversity while meeting diverse human needs. My science is informed by a social justice lens and covers topics ranging from human-wildlife relationships, acoustic ecology, and advancing social justice in science.
Department Head
I am an applied ecologist interested in the eco-evolutionary causes and consequences of species rarity within the context of abiotic and biotic pressures. My research aims to inform the conservation of endangered, threatened, and candidate plant species.
Affiliate Faculty-Assistant Professor; Graduate MS Adviser, PhD Co-Advise
MSc - FWCB - Dr. Caitlin Well's & Dr. Yoichiro Kanno's labs
I am broadly interested in applied fisheries restoration science. My MS research uses whole genomes to inform conservation management of cutthroat trout throughout Colorado, while my PhD research aims to investigate the impacts of wood addition on a population of masu salmon in Southern Hokkaido, Japan, in collaboration with the University of Hokkaido.
Professor
I am an ecotoxicologist studying how contaminants and other stressors affect aquatic ecosystems. My research integrates experimental and observational approaches to understand how ecological factors influence responses to and recovery from anthropogenic disturbances.
Professor/Director, Center for Human-Carnivore Coexistence
I am a conservation biologist whose work examines the impacts of anthropogenic disturbances on wildlife and the natural systems in which they live. As the Director of the Center for Human-Carnivore Coexistence, a particular focus is reducing conflict and facilitating coexistence between humans and carnivores to minimize impacts on both people and predators.
Program Director/Advisor/Joint Faculty/Online Masters FWCB
I am an ecologist who currently directs the department’s online Masters program and teaches on the topics of ecotoxicology, conservation biology, habitat management, wildlife management, and conservation of freshwater systems.
Professor
I am a wildlife biologist primarily focused on population-level questions and working with applied agencies. I have worked on a wide variety of taxa, including many species of conservation concern as well as with harvested animals. I enjoy applying sampling design, demographic parameter (e.g., survival, fecundity, population growth) estimation, population modeling, and field skills to questions of interest.
Emeritus Professor
Ecology and management of stream-riparian ecosystems, focusing on stream fish and their habitat
COOP Assistant Unit Leader | Associate Professor
I am a quantitative animal ecologist. I work with scientists and resource and land managers to help learn through data to provide inferential or predictive knowledge or decision-support that is used for empirically informed conservation management of biodiversity.
Professor
I am a conservation biologist that integrates field ecology with conservation practice and policy to identify innovative and equitable ways to sustain and restore biodiversity and ecosystem services. My research program focuses on advancing bird community conservation on islands and in human-dominated landscapes.
Graduate Assistant
I am a graduate student studying the effects of anthropogenic environmental changes on wildlife parasites and diseases using an allostatic load framework. My research focuses on identifying how the immune system explains adverse health in White-tail and Mule deer with a focus on Chronic Wasting Disease.
Graduate Assistant
I am a PhD student studying carnivore-livestock conflict with a focus on the wolf reintroduction in Colorado.
Assistant Professor
I am an ornithologist working on bird migration throughout the Western Hemisphere using radar remote sensing. My area of expertise encompasses themes of aeroecology, spatial ecology, movement ecology, macroecology, impacts of light pollution, and ecological forecasting.
Senior Instructor/Graduate Certificate Coordinator
I am a landscape and conservation ecologist with the goal of empowering nature's stewards. I live in Denver.
Professor
I am a fisheries ecologist. I study fisheries management, food webs, predator-prey interactions, lake and reservoir ecology, management of invasive species, contaminants, and effects of climate.
Associate Professor
I am a stream fish ecologist working at the intersection of fundamental and applied ecology in North America and Japan. My area of expertise includes population and community ecology, conservation genetics, riverscape ecology, and fish behavior.
James C. Kennedy Chair of Wetland and Waterfowl Conservation
Professor, Endowed Chair
James C Kennedy Endowed Wetland/Waterfowl Conservation Chair. I use demography to solve problems and answer questions in conservation, management, ecology, and evolution.
Ph.D. Student - FWCB - Dr. Yoichiro Kanno's Lab
Fisheries and Water Management Issues in the Arid West
Ph.D. Candidate - GDPE/Ecology - Dr. Sara Bombaci and Dr Mevin Hooten's Lab
Professor
I am a fish physiological ecologist working on applied fisheries conservation, management, and aquaculture challenges. My areas of focus include the design and evaluation of fish passage structures for native fishes and developing techniques for the culture of rare native fishes.
PhD Student - FWCB - Dr. Joel Berger's Lab
Camera traps, Hunting, Poaching, Endemics, Behaviors, International conservation
Assistant Professor
