Dr. Eichholz investigates nutrient dynamics in wetland ecosystems, including impacts of agricultural development on Canada geese and foraging strategies in moist soil habitats and rice fields. His methodological innovations include using postovulatory follicles to estimate breeding propensity in wild waterfowl populations.
Recent publications highlight his work on amphibian conservation, avian migration ecology, and wetland nutrient regulation. Key themes include disease impacts, survival rates during staging, and reproductive biology of waterfowl.
