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.

Science and Products
Estimating northern spotted owl (Strix occidentalis caurina) pair detection probabilities based on call-back surveys associated with long-term mark-recapture studies, 1993–2018
Range-wide sources of variation in reproductive rates of northern spotted owls
Incorporating antenna detections into abundance estimates of fish
Range-wide declines of northern spotted owl populations in the Pacific Northwest: A meta-analysis
Opinion: A preferred approach for dealing with reproducibility and replicability in science
Partial migration and spawning movements of humpback chub in the Little Colorado River are better understood using data from autonomous PIT tag antennas
Factors influencing Cinnamon Teal nest attendance patterns
Optimal spatial prioritization of control resources for elimination of invasive species under demographic uncertainty
Nest site selection influences cinnamon teal nest survival in Colorado
Selecting ecological models using multi-objective optimization
Characterizing residence patterns of North Atlantic right whales in the southeastern U.S. with a multistate open robust design model
The non-linear, interactive effects of population density and climate drive the geographical patterns of waterfowl survival
