 Dr. Wallace

Research interests: My research centers on wildlife/habitat relationships. For example, I am involved with studies of elk impacts in New Mexico, land use effects on turkey populations in Texas and Kansas, and prairie dogs and burrowing owl ecology in the Texas panhandle. My colleagues and I use scientific methods to study how land-use management decisions affect wildlife populations and basic ecological processes. I am also interested in the effects of introduced domestic and exotic species on habitat use by native wildlife and the ecology and management of wildlife in the rural-urban interface, which provides an excellent opportunity to study vertebrate populations in fragmented habitats.

Courses taught: RWFM 2301, 4000, 4100, 4301, 4309, 5315, 6301.

Service: I am the advisor and quizbowl coach for the Range, Wildlife and Fisheries Club. I am also Past President of College and University Education Working Group of The Wildlife Society and have served as an Editorial Panel Member for The Wildlife Society Bulletin (2000-2005) .
