Research Interests
Wildlife ecology, GIS, Statistical modelling
I conduct field research on waterfowl with geographic information systems (GIS) and statistical modeling. I study how resource use affects survival and reproduction in waterfowl populations. The migratory behavior of waterfowl, their dependence on wetlands, and their economic value exposes students to a variety of research areas including conservation biology, wildlife management, and basic research. Students working with Dr. Hayes will learn GIS, statistical programming with R, and a variety of field techniques. Waterfowl trapping and banding opportunities occur throughout the year; interested students are encouraged to volunteer.
