Research Interests

Mr. Cary assists faculty and graduate students in applying computer technology to wildlife science. He also is concerned with quantitative problems such as the measurement of population size, vital rates, use of space, and the design of field studies. Mr. Cary is involved on a consultative basis with most research projects in the Department. He also has participated in the field work of seabird census, snowshoe hare demography, population studies of Canada geese, songbird nesting, aerial survey of white-tail deer, and numerous radio-telemetry studies.
