Dr. Than Boves is a Professor of Ecology in the Molecular Biosciences program at Arkansas State University's Beck College of Sciences & Mathematics. His research focuses on avian biology, conservation, and symbiotic relationships, with an emphasis on warblers, raptors, and feather mites.
- PhD in Wildlife Ecology (University of Tennessee at Knoxville, 2011)
- MS in Raptor Biology (Boise State University, 2007)
- BS in Biology (University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 1998)
His work spans disturbance ecology, population dynamics, animal behavior, and conservation physiology. The Boves Lab investigates topics such as forest management impacts on cerulean warblers, avian ectosymbiotic mites, and migratory connectivity through genomic and tracking methods.
Key article trends include avian conservation challenges, host-symbiont coevolution, migration ecology, and the application of genomics to understand warbler populations. His research often integrates molecular tools with field observations.
