Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Patrick J. Ruhl's research investigates avian ecology and population dynamics, with a recent focus on migratory bird species. His work examines aspects of roosting behavior, habitat associations, and migratory connectivity in species such as White-throated Sparrows and various warbler species. Ruhl has published on the spatial and temporal patterns of migratory connectivity in sympatrically breeding warblers that exhibit differing population trends. He also studies signals of genetic diversity loss in declining warbler populations, linking environmental factors to genetic health. His scholarship metrics include an h-index of 5, with 19 total publications and 78 total citations. Ruhl collaborates with several colleagues at Harding University Main Campus.
