Lori RandallGENERAL BIOLOGISTContact InfoShort Biography
Lori Randall is a biologist at the National Wetlands Reasearch Center in Lafayette, LA. Randall's current research focuses on studies of bird-habitat relations that include the use of weather radar to determine landscape-scale habitat needs of migrating and wintering birds. Previous research focused on the effects of nutria herbivory on primary production and plant stand structure in coastal wetlands. PublicationsBuler, J.J., L.A. Randall, J.P. Fleskes, W.C.
