Chris Lituma

Chris Lituma’s research interests focus on grassland and early-successional bird population ecology, landscape conservation ecology, and how conservation practices affect bird populations. He is also interested in understanding how continued human population expansion and the wildland-urban interface will affect the significance of private lands in avian conservation, as well as the full life-cycle conservation and understating avian population dynamics during migration and on wintering grounds. He earned his bachelor’s in biology from Millersville University of Pennsylvania, a master’s in wildlife and fisheries sciences from Texas A&M University, and a doctorate in natural resources from the University of Tennessee.
