Biography
Originally from Tempe, Arizona, Dr. Cain received graduate degrees from California State University-Sacramento and the University of Arizona. Dr. Cain was a post-doctoral fellow in the Center for African Ecology at the University of the Witwatersrand in Johannesburg, South Africa before joining the New Mexico Unit as Assistant Unit Leader in 2010. Dr. Cain’s research interests are primarily in wildlife-habitat relationships, population ecology, predator-prey interactions, and foraging ecology. Dr. Cain addresses both basic and applied questions related to wildlife ecology, conservation and management with a focus on large mammals in arid and semi-arid systems. A central theme of Dr. Cain’s research focuses on understanding how spatial and temporal variation in habitat characteristics, resources and constraints on resource use (e.g., predation risk) influence the movement, habitat selection and distribution of wildlife. Another research theme involves assessing the influence of natural resource management activities on wildlife, particularly the influence of land and forest management activities and wildfires on large mammals in southwestern forests. Dr. Cain teaches graduate level courses in Wildlife-habitat Relationships and Large Mammal Ecology, Conservation, and Management.
