Mark Hebblewhite

Professor of Ungulate Habitat Ecology, University of Montana

My research interests broadly lie in understanding 1) how wildlife such as large mammals balance the costs of predation with the benefits of foraging, and 2) how human activities influence this balance, and the ensuing conservation and management consequences to wildlife population dynamics. Habitat selection is a primary mechanism used to balance predation and forage, and our research uses new techniques to link the consequences of resource selection to population dynamics.

My students and I have published nearly 200 scientific papers and book chapters in journals such as Science, Conservation Biology, Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, Sciences Advances, Frontiers in Ecology and Environment, etc.
