As a behavioral and population ecologist, Bryant Dossman focuses on understanding the mechanisms driving species’ responses to global change. His research centers on animal movement as a critical link between individual behavior and population dynamics. He is particularly interested in how seasonal interactions influence population dynamics, movement, and behavior across different periods of the annual cycle.
With a focus on migratory birds, he employs cutting-edge tracking technologies and innovative quantitative approaches to investigate the causes and consequences of individual movement and behavior. His work on American Redstarts has revealed critical insights into how nonbreeding conditions can directly influence migratory behavior, survival, and breeding range dynamics, providing invaluable insights for migratory bird conservation.
Beyond his research, Bryant is committed to the scientific community and passionate about education. He actively mentors young scientists and engages in outreach programs to foster a deeper understanding of ecological issues among the general public
