Bio:
Jeff Buler is a Professor of Wildlife Ecology in the Department of Entomology and Wildlife Ecology at the University of Delaware. He holds a MS degree in Wildlife from Louisiana State University and a PhD in Biology from the University of Southern Mississippi. He established his research lab, the Aeroecology Program, at the University of Delaware in 2011. Dr. Buler is an international leader in the development of novel methods and software for using weather surveillance radars to study the broad-scale distribution, movement, and habitat use patterns of birds, insects, and bats. His research interests include 1) modeling species distributions and habitat relationships over broad geographic scales, 2) assessing wildlife responses to habitat restoration, habitat management, and anthropogenic development, and 3) studying the behavior and ecology of birds during migration.
