Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Brett A. DeGregorio's research focuses on wildlife ecology and conservation, with a particular emphasis on avian nest predation and the factors influencing it. His work investigates patterns in nest predation across North America, examining the roles of various predators, including snakes and mammals, and how these interactions are affected by environmental changes.

DeGregorio has studied the impact of human infrastructure, such as power lines and roads, on nest survival and predator identity. He also explores the indirect effects of climate change on wildlife behavior, noting how shifts in predator behavior can alter predation intensity and timing. His research utilizes large-scale survey data, including camera trap surveys like SNAPSHOT USA, to assess continental patterns in wildlife populations and their ecological interactions. DeGregorio also contributes to the understanding of wildlife translocation strategies through reviews and meta-analyses of antipredator training and environmental enrichment methods.
