Dr. John Draper, Postdoctoral Researcher
I am an ecologist focused on the spatial ecology of wildlife in North America. I aim to combine different aspects of ecology including genetics, diet, species interactions, dispersal and invasion, and anthropogenic forces like land ownership/management and wildlife management, with robust spatial analysis and simulation modeling. My current research focuses on the efficacy of altering harvest regulations such as bag limits and season lengths to increase the take of white-tailed deer in response to the spread of CWD.
