Integrated population and habitat dynamic models for adaptively managing a transitional habitat specialist: the Florida scrub-jay

Speaker Series in Ecology & Natural Resources Spring 2021  

The Department of Forestry & Environmental Conservation and the Natural Resources Graduate Student Association of Clemson University present:  

Integrated population and habitat dynamic models for adaptively managing a transitional habitat specialist: the Florida scrub-jay 

Dr. Mitchell Eaton, Research Ecologist, USGS Southeast Climate Adaptation Science Center/NC State University 

Mitch Eaton is a Research Ecologist with the USGS Southeast Climate Adaptation Science Center. He is based at North Carolina State University where he holds a faculty appointment with the Department of Applied Ecology. Dr. Eaton’s research focuses on using models to un-derstand spatial and temporal variation of species and habitats. His second area of research is using decision science methods to assist resource managers with information to help make bet-ter decisions for trust responsibilities under uncertainty while accounting for competing societal values. Additional interests and background include vertebrate conservation in African and Neo-tropical forests, population demographic modeling, population genetics and systematics. He earned his Ph.D. (2009) in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology from the University of Colorado, studying African crocodile ecology and conservation.
