Description
Dr. Jeffrey Peters is a Professor of Biological Sciences at Wright State University. He earned his B.S. in Biology at Indiana University of Pennsylvania. For his M.S. in Applied Ecology and Conservation Biology at Frostburg State University in Maryland, Dr. Peters used DNA analyses to examine mating strategies in a species of duck, the Gadwall. Continuing his genetics research, he studied geographic variation in ducks for his Ph.D. in Biology at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County. Dr. Peters continued this work at the University of Alaska, Fairbanks, as a post-doctoral researcher, and at Wright State University. During his career, he has published more than 50 papers in peer-reviewed journals, such as Molecular Ecology, Austral Ornithology, Journal of Avian Biology, and Conservation Genetics. In recent years, he has become an avid birder. Following in the footsteps of Dr. James Runkle himself, Dr. Peters has spent countless hours surveying the avian community in the Wright State woods, which provides important stopover habitat for several species of migratory birds that have experienced population declines.
