Dave has been a wildlife ecologist for more than 12 years, specializing in the assessment of human land use affects on wildlife populations and their habitats. His interests include restoration planning for wildlife, natural resource inventory and monitoring designs, and modeling approaches to understand land management effects on wildlife habitats. Dave has also been investigating the use of dogs to detect rare wildlife and plants.
Daniel K. Rosenberg, Ph.D. , Co-Director- Phone (541) 757-9041
- Email: dan@oregonwildlife.org
Dan’s research and educational outreach work is directed towards finding solutions to maintaining biological diversity in managed landscapes. His expertise is in understanding the population dynamics and movement patterns of a diversity of wildlife species, and approaches for monitoring wildlife response to management. Dan has recently coordinated several educational outreach programs that link research and education. In addition to co-directing OWI, Dan is a faculty member in the Department of Fisheries and Wildlife at Oregon State University where he works with graduate students through research projects and teaching classes.

Jennifer Gervais, Ph.D., Wildlife Ecologist- Phone (541) 757-9041
- Email: jen@oregonwildlife.org
Jennifer's research involves population dynamics and ecotoxicology of wildlife species. She is working on questions regarding how to manage native wildlife species in agricultural ecosystems, some of which cause extensive economic loss to farmers. Her interests include developing effective monitoring protocols, the use of population models to evaluate management strategies and modeling to understand how threats such as contaminants or changing land use affect wildlife populations. In addition to conducting research for OWI, she is faculty member in the Department of Fisheries and Wildlife at Oregon State University, where she serves on graduate student committees and teaches animal population dynamics.
