Biography

Dr. Kendall received graduate degrees from North Carolina State University, followed by five years in population assessment with USFWS Migratory Bird Management, and then 13 years as a researcher with Patuxent Wildlife Research Center, before joining the Colorado Unit in 2010. His research is both methodological and applied, focused largely on developing models of population dynamics or species distribution that can be used to inform conservation decisions. He has worked extensively in developing and improving capture-recapture and occupancy study designs and models, and in developing structured decision-making approaches to wildlife management. Much of his work is in population ecology, but also includes migration ecology and the spread of invasive species or disease. His research is taxonomically varied, with extensive work on migratory birds such as sandhill cranes, waterfowl, and raptors, as well as large mammals, bats, riverine fish, and marine species such as albatross, sea turtles, and manatees. Dr. Kendall regularly teaches courses and short courses in Sampling and Analysis of Vertebrate Populations, and Adaptive Fish and Wildlife Management.
