William J. Bleier, Ph.D., Texas Tech University, 1975 Associate Dean and Professor Vertebrate pest management, especially avian damage to agricultural production. Current research: avian ecology associated with development of methods to reduce damage to commercial sunflower production by blackbirds and to reduce starling problems in cattle feedlots (feed consumption and contamination and disease transmission). |

Steve E. Travers, Ph.D., University of California, Santa Barbara, 1998 Assistant Professor Plant Evolutionary Ecology. My research focuses on understanding the ecology and evolution of natural plant populations. In particular I am interested in the evolution of plant reproductive traits, the role of local adaptation and the ecological genomics and population genetics of plant responses to environmental change. |
