| Research |
Avian Behavioral Ecology with an emphasis on song. Currently I am working with AM radio transmitters affixed to birds obtaining more extensive vocal recordings than previously possible. I'm also working on developing a wireless audio array for studies of populations and communities of calling animals in the wild. With others at the U of I and the INHS I am developing tools to process and interpret very large audio files of animal vocalizations. |
