Jen Smith

I am an Assistant Professor at The University of Texas at San Antonio. My lab's research takes a mechanistic approach to assess the effects of land-use and management decisions on the behaviour, space use, and demography of birds, but occasionally on other taxa too. I am also interested in the human dimensions of wildlife which influence, and are influenced by wildlife management and conservation behaviours. Overall, my objective is to conduct research that informs policy and promotes sustainable land uses that consider the conservation of wildlife and human well-being.
