Biographical Sketch:

Eben Paxton's research focuses on avian research, particularly endangered, threatened, and sensitive bird species in the southwestern United States. For the last eight years, intensive research on the Southwestern Willow Flycatcher has included a long-term demographic study at several large populations across Arizona. In addition, genetic and banding studies have been carried out across the southwest on the flycatcher, with work extending across North America south into Central and South America on the flycatcher. Current work includes continuation of the long term demographic study of the flycatcher, using genetic techniques to evaluate range boundaries and wintering grounds of the southwestern subspecies, modeling population dynamics of the flycatcher, and providing conservation genetic support to the station.
