Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Douglas C. Osborne is a Professor of Wildlife Management at the University of Arkansas at Monticello. His research focuses on understanding animal behavior and ecological responses to environmental factors, particularly extreme weather and climate change. Osborne has investigated the distributional shifts and migration strategies of wintering waterfowl, including greater white-fronted geese and mallards, examining their habitat selection and time-energy trade-offs. His work also explores how citizen science can contribute to ecological research, as demonstrated by studies on waterfowl responses to winter weather events. Additionally, Osborne's research has examined the impact of invasive species, such as wild pigs, on native wildlife populations like wild turkeys. He has published 38 papers, with an h-index of 8 and 199 total citations.
