Expertise

Expertise: Steury is an expert in the areas of carnivore ecology and conservation, predator-prey interactions, and statistics.

My lab is broadly interested in the population ecology, species interactions, and behavior of wildlife, especially mammalian predators and their prey. We are particularly interested in applying knowledge learned in the above areas to better conserve and restore species.

Current Lab Projects:

  • Black bear reproductive ecology in Alabama
  • The evolution of scatterhoarding
  • Do deer fawns choose hiding spots to mask their scent
  • Factors influencing road mortality in squirrels.
