Frederick A. Servello
Associate Dean for Research, College of Natural Sciences, Forestry and Agriculture Dr. Servello's research is in three areas: Ecology and Management of Water Birds of Special Concern in Maine −This focus area includes studies of endangered and threatened species in Maine including the Black Tern, Least Tern and Least Bittern, studies on marsh bird population and habitat ecology, and research on seabird-aquaculture interactions. Forest Wildlife Ecology and Management − Past research focused on wildlife ecology in forest habitats and effects of forest management practices on wildlife including herbicide effects on moose habitat, deer wintering habitat, and effects of forest buffer strips on small mammal populations. Nutritional and Foraging Ecology − Wildlife nutritional and foraging ecology is often an underlying element of the research above. Current research also includes studies on Wild Turkey foraging behavior in blueberry agrosystems in Maine and Black Bear food habits. |
