Andrew J. Campomizzi
Department of Wildlife and Fisheries Sciences
Ph.D. Student

acampomizzi@neo.tamu.edu
Phone: (979) 862-3319

Research Focus: I'm interested in why animals breed in and return to certain locations.  I am investigating the role of personal and public information use by songbirds for habitat selection decisions. [Synopsis]

Tara Conkling
Department of Wildlife and Fisheries Sciences
M.S. Student

tconkling@neo.tamu.edu
Phone: (979) 847-9335

Research focus: Analysis of the nest predator assemblages of black-capped vireos and white-eyed vireos in east-central Texas, including nest predator identification, predator activity, and habitat characteristics.
[Synopsis]

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

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

Research Focus:
I'm investigating the factors that influence habitat selection in birds.  I am focusing on the influence of social information in habitat selection, from conspecifics and potentially heterospecifics, in the context of other habitat characteristics like vegetation structure and composition. [Synopsis]

Jessica Klassen
Department of Wildlife and Fisheries Sciences
M.S. Student
jessica.klassen@neo.tamu.edu
Phone: 651-269-4490

Research Focus:
Investigating the effects of vegetation characteristics (species composition, species density, and canopy coverage) on the reproductive success of golden-cheeked warblers in and around Kickapoo Cavern State Park, Texas. [Synopsis]

Melissa Lackey
Department of Wildlife and Fisheries Sciences
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.
[Synopsis]

Phone: (512) 461-6217

Research Focus:
Investigating the impact of infantry training on the behavior and productivity of golden-cheeked warblers and black-capped vireos in Fort Hood, Texas.  Also, I am investigating the relationship between tree species composition, foraging effort, and avian productivity for the golden-cheeked warbler. [Synopsis]
