Byers Lab: Research

American Pronghorn on the National Bison Range

I am an animal behaviorist primarily interested in behavioral development, play, sexual selection and female mate choice.  I am a member and Fellow of the Animal Behavior Society). I maintain a longitudinal study of a population of pronghorn (Antilocapra americana) on the National Bison Range in western Montana. Projects now underway in this study, which has run since 1981, are measurement of costs and benefits of female mate choice and evaluation of the fitness consequences of inbreeding in the population.
