Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

William H. Kirkpatrick studies the impact of environmental factors, specifically temperature variability, on the reproductive behaviors of animals. His research has investigated these effects in both dung beetles (Phanaeus vindex) and avian species such as Scaled Quail and Northern Bobwhite. Kirkpatrick's work has been published in peer-reviewed journals, with several publications co-authored with collaborators Erin L. Sauer and Sarah E. DuRant from the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville. His scholarly output includes nine publications with 30 citations and an h-index of 2. Kirkpatrick remains an active researcher, with his most recent publication in 2026.
