Scott Pearson, PhD:
Snowy Plover Status, Trends, and Management
Dr. Pearson joined Washington Dept. of Fish and Wildlife in 2000. His research is focused primarily on assessing population status and trends, diet, habitat use and quality, evaluating the effectiveness of conservation efforts, and identifying mechanisms responsible for population declines. Scott has been studying avian ecology for over 20 years.
Scott’s previous research focused on evaluating the importance of various food resources to migrant and over-wintering birds, the behavioral and ecological aspects of hybridization in warblers, and identifying the habitat features important to bird reproduction and survival. After completing his postdoc at the University of Florida, Scott worked as the Westside Natural Areas Ecologist for Washington Department of Natural Resources.
