معرفی
Jonathan Conard is an Adjunct Professor of Biology at Sterling College, focused on experiential learning and student development. He previously taught as an adjunct professor at Washburn University. His research emphasizes wildlife ecology, particularly in Kansas ecosystems, including white-tailed deer behavior, elk population dynamics, and prairie dog vigilance patterns. Dr. Conard holds a Ph.D., M.S., and B.S. in Biology from Kansas State University and Southwestern College. His work integrates field observations with conservation strategies, often centered at Quivira National Wildlife Refuge. Students are encouraged to contact him directly about research opportunities in wildlife biology and ecology.
Educational Background:
- Ph.D. in Biology, Kansas State University
- M.S. in Biology, Kansas State University
- B.S. in Biology, Southwestern College
Research Interests:
Dr. Conard's work spans mammalian behavior, population dynamics, and conservation biology. He investigates how environmental factors influence species distribution and survival, with recent focus on prairie dogs, porcupines, and elk. His studies often address human impacts on wildlife, including vehicle collisions and military land use effects.
Publications Highlight:
His research trends reflect Kansas-specific ecology, with key themes in species distribution modeling, habitat selection, and management practices. Notable projects include elk reintroduction genetics and prairie ecosystem dynamics.
