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.
