Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Douglas C. Osborne, a Professor of Wildlife Management at the University of Arkansas at Monticello, investigates wildlife responses to environmental changes and human influences. His research utilizes citizen science data to understand how animals, particularly waterfowl, adapt to extreme weather events and climate variability. Recent publications explore the distributional shifts and migration strategies of species such as greater white-fronted geese and mallards, examining their habitat selection and time-energy trade-offs.

Osborne's work also addresses the impact of invasive species, such as wild pigs, on native wildlife populations, including wild turkeys. Furthermore, his research delves into public perception and support for wildlife management policies, investigating factors like value similarity and trustworthiness in predicting public opinion. He has a publication record of 39 papers, with an h-index of 9 and 217 citations.
