Multi-Scale Habitat Selection of Wintering Waterfowl at Anahuac National Wildlife Refuge
Tiffany is a native Floridian who graduated from the University of Florida in 2014 and is currently pursuing her masters at Texas Tech University. She enjoys hiking, kayaking, hunting, fishing, and any other outdoor activity. Her passion for the outdoors and sporting lifestyle led her to the field of wildlife conservation and management. Her current research focuses on habitat selection of waterfowl wintering on the Texas Coast.
Coastal marshes of the Gulf of Mexico comprise one of the most important waterfowl wintering areas in North America. The objective of Tiffany’s research is to assess wintering waterfowl habitat selection within Anahuac National Wildlife Refuge, Texas by quantifying waterfowl selection of vegetative communities, food resources, and coastal marshes. This research will fill major information gaps about wintering waterfowl ecology, influence management priorities and practices, and guide further research and funding for future waterfowl research.
