Biography

Prof. Broders' main research interests are in animal population biology, focusing on characterizing aspects of animal populations to explain the causes and predict the consequences of population structure, including resource requirements and social structure. These research areas are vital for increasing our understanding of evolution and evolutionary processes. Managing wildlife populations requires data to make reliable inferences about biology, thus a conservation perspective is critically important. His areas of interest include behavioral ecology, life history, mating strategies, and the swarming and migratory behavior of bats, particularly endangered species such as the brown bat (Myotis lucifugus) and the northern long-eared bat (Myotis septentrionalis). He is also concerned with the impacts of white-nose syndrome on bat populations.
