Mammalian Ecology
- Population ecology and
interactions with agricultural land use
- Vector ecology of the West
Nile Virus
- Breeding and habitat use by
song birds
Dr. Risch's research involves
monitored interactions or population dynamics of
small mammals and birds. Recent projects have ranged
from describing life history traits to assessing
vector ecology. Techniques are applied toward human
risk assessment for West Nile virus and measured
benefits of genetically modified crops using small
mammal models. Locally, his research examines
distribution and behavior of bats in specific
ecoregions of Arkansas and reproductive timing in
Eastern Bluebirds. Tom still collaborates on
projects with University of Georgia's Savannah River
Ecology Laboratory.
