Bill Kendall, PhD
Assistant Unit Leader - Colorado Cooperative Fish and Wildlife Research Unit
Research Interests
My interests are in the development, application, and evaluation of methods in quantitative ecology. Current research focuses on several areas of capture-recapture statistical methodology, the conceptual development of adaptive resource management and its application to decision problems, and population dynamics of sandhill cranes, albatross, sea turtles, and manatees.
Teaching Interests
I teach courses in population analysis and demographic estimation, and wildlife management science.
