Research
My lab studies the endocrine basis of sexual behavior in ruminants. We are particularly interested in understanding sexual motivation and performance in males and attractivity, proceptivity, and receptivity in females. We also study reproduction in white-tailed deer as it relates to wildlife damage control.More information
