I am a chemical ecologist with the USDA National Wildlife Research Center (NWRC). My research at Monell focuses on wildlife behavior and the chemical signals that identify friend, foe, and food. The goals of my research are increased understanding of wildlife behavior and development of practical tools to minimize wildlife damage to agricultural resources. Current research topics include: 1) phytochemical basis of herbivore foraging behavior; 2) olfactory signals associated with animal disease states; 3) cues associated with novelty or conditioned aversions; 4) mechanisms of herbivore repellents; 5) attractants for wildlife baiting systems.
