Jamie Goethlich
PhD Student
Biography
I am a PhD student investigating the relationships between different management strategies, white-tailed deer populations, and vegetative communities in the northeastern US. I recently completed my MS at Auburn University, where I studied the effects of abiotic factors (e.g. temperature, barometric pressure, moon phase) on deer activity in South Carolina. Prior to attending graduate school, I earned his BS in Biology and Natural Resources from Northland College in Ashland, WI, and worked as a technician on projects ranging from investigating diet selection of slimy sculpins in northern Alaska to determining the location of moose calf births and deaths using movement behavior of GPS-collared cow moose in northeastern Minnesota. As a Wisconsin native, I am excited to return to my home state for my PhD. My free time is spent hunting, fishing, and spending time outdoors in the woods and on the waters that inspired my passion for wildlife.
