What the facility does
Genetic analyses, fish sampling and aging wildlife habitat-use assessment
Areas of expertise
The Wildlife Ecology and Genetics Lab is geared toward understanding interactions between humans and wildlife. To this end, we conduct field studies of habitat use, genetic studies of population structure and diversity and aquatic studies on fish populations.
