Conservation on the Edge
Dr. John Koprowski in the School of Natural Resources takes a special interest in what happens to populations at the edges of their range. Range edges are constantly growing due to fragmentation - and these are the places where we are likely to see striking ecological shifts as the climate changes.

I am a PhD student in Dr. Conway's Lab. Broadly speaking, my research interests center on avian ecology and conservation, mechanisms underlying nest predation in songbirds, plant-animal interactions, and life-history traits in birds.

Coastal development is increasing on a global scale. By
2025, 75% of the world's population will live within 120 miles of the coast
(UNESCO). The coast of the northern Gulf of California,
one of the richest marine ecosystems in the world, is no exception. The
community of Puerto Peñasco,
Sonora has grown 7% each year
since 2000. Just north of the border, Arizona is the second fastest growing
Wildlife & Fisheries Resources
Our Wildlife & Fisheries program area prepares graduate and undergraduate students in Wildlife & Fisheries Conservation and Management.
Wildlife and Fisheries Conservation and Management is the study of wild animals, fish, and other organisms. It involves the study of their biology and the interrelationships with each other, with humans, and with the physical and biological environments that make up their habitats.
