Research
My research focuses on the ecology and management of deer species, primarily white-tailed deer. I and my students conduct studies aimed at improving deer population management, guiding science-driven management by state and federal agencies, mitigation of deer-human conflicts, and enhancing knowledge of deer anatomy and physiology. The UGA Deer Lab is committed to training wildlife professionals through research with direct application to management.
