Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Don H. White holds the James M. White Distinguished Professorship of Wildlife Ecology at the University of Arkansas at Monticello. His research has explored population genetics, particularly in relation to American black bears. One publication investigates the influence of genetic drift and admixture on the population structure of American black bears in the Central Interior Highlands, USA, specifically 50 years after translocation efforts. His work has also touched on avian ecology and landscape structure, with studies examining relationships between avian richness and landscape structure at multiple scales, as well as managed forest landscape structure and avian species richness in the southeastern US. White's scholarship metrics include an h-index of 15, with 37 total publications and 783 total citations. He has collaborated with several researchers at the University of Arkansas at Monticello, including Shadia A. Alzurqani and Kathleen A. Bridges, with whom he shares two publications.
