Clinton W. Jeske, Ph.D. 1991. Colorado State University. Waterfowl biology, avian physiological ecology, reptile physiological ecology, migration ecology, international avian conservation.
Jeske's research has focused on behavioral and physiological ecology of wintering waterfowl. Current studies are attempting to determine environmental cues used by northern pintails to assess remote habitat availability prior to initiation of long-distance movements; waterbird use of hypersaline wetlands in New Mexico and avian osmoregulatory ability when exposed to hypersaline habitats; measuring stress in lesser snow geese; determining the role of metabolic limitations in observed winter distribution patterns; and determination of normal baselines for hematological parameters.
