Honors and Professional Activities
Member: Biometric Society, The Wildlife Society, Society for
Conservation Biology, American Association for the Advancement of
Science.
Research Interests
Mr. Cary assists faculty and graduate students in applying
computer technology to wildlife science. He also is concerned
with quantitative problems such as the measurement of population
size, vital rates, use of space, and the design of field studies.
Mr. Cary is involved on a consultative basis with most research
projects in the Department. He also has participated in the
field work of seabird census, snowshoe hare demography,
population studies of Canada geese, songbird nesting, aerial
survey of white-tail deer, and numerous radio-telemetry studies.
