Dr. Bleicher is an evolutionary ecologist and environmental scientist whose research explores behavioral ecology, invasive species dynamics, and urban ecology. His studies address predator-prey interactions, optimal foraging strategies, and evolutionary responses to human-altered environments.

His recent work trends highlight behavioral plasticity in invasive reptiles, desert rodent adaptation to predators, and urbanization's ecological impacts. Key subfields include sensory disinformation, convergent evolution, and nocturnal learning behavior, reflecting his focus on extreme and urban habitats.
