Lori Randall
Lori Randall is a biologist at the Wetland and Aquatic Research Center in Lafayette, LA.
Randall's current research focuses on studies of bird-habitat relations that include the use of weather radar to determine landscape-scale habitat needs of migrating and wintering birds. Previous research focused on the effects of nutria herbivory on primary production and plant stand structure in Gulf Coast wetlands.

Modeling the effects of nutria (Myocastor coypus) on wetland loss Modeling the effects of nutria (Myocastor coypus) on wetland loss
We created a model to study the process in which nutria (Myocastor coypus) feeding activities lead to erosion and loss of marsh area. This model ties together data on nutria population dynamics and feeding behavior from the literature with data from field studies on the phenology of Scirpus americanus and Spartina patens conducted in the Barataria Basin, Louisiana, USA in 1992. The...

Vertebrate herbivory in managed coastal wetlands: A manipulative experiment Vertebrate herbivory in managed coastal wetlands: A manipulative experiment
Structural marsh management and nutria herbivory are both believed to strongly influence plant production in the brackish, deltaic marshes of coastal Louisiana, USA. Previous studies have tested the effects of structural management on aboveground biomass after implementing management, but very few studies have collected data before and after management. Thus, to test the effects of...
