Shannon Farrell
Department of Wildlife and Fisheries Sciences
Ph.D. Student

slfarrell@neo.tamu.edu
Phone: (973) 752-2391

Research Focus: I'm investigating how and why birds select breeding habitat, particularly with regard to inter and intraspecific behavioral interactions. I'm investigating potential cues used in habaitat selection decisions, focussing on the use of social information.

M.S. Student

melissalackey@neo.tamu.edu
Phone: 937-475-6928

Research Focus: Determining whether golden-cheeked warblers alter behavior in the presence of introduced road construction noise, if they have habituated to construction noise in the southern portion of the breeding range, and whether habituation is hindering their reproductive success.
