Dosch's website
Professor Dosch is a terrestrial ecologist with a particular interest
in birds, environmental issues, and the ecological challenges of the
winter season. His current research projects are investigating
the impacts of heavy metals (airborne mercury pollution and lead
fishing tackle) on Common Loons (Gavia immer) in Minnesota; the
importance of fruit-eating birds to rainforest regeneration in
abandoned Costa Rican pastures; and the population and community
ecology of over-wintering birds, particularly Black-capped Chickadees
(Poecile atricapilla). In his spare time Professor Dosch enjoys herding
cats and exploring the outdoors with his growing family.
