Adam Duerr has research interests in the broad topics of wildlife biology and avian ecology that provide results that can be directly applied to wildlife management. Currently, Dr. Duerr is working on projects that focus on flight and migration ecology, conservation biology, human-wildlife conflicts, and demography.
One avenue of his research includes understanding flight behavior of golden and bald eagles and California condors to understand risk of these birds colliding with wind turbines or aircraft. He also works to understand how population demography changes in response to wildlife management that is applied either to increase population sizes (i.e., conservation) or reduce human-wildlife conflicts (i.e., wildlife damage management).
