Bio
Professor Robinson is an evolutionary biologist whose teaching
and research experiences have focused on organismal biology and
behavior. He has taught classes on animal behavior, ecology,
ornithology, vertebrate biology, general biology, environmental
science, and anatomy and physiology. He guided a group of students
to New Zealand for an 18-day trip and looks to do so at Mount Saint
Mary College soon.
The questions that guide his research revolve around how
behavior is shaped by ecological and social environments. During
the spring of 2011, Professor Robinson will continue his
postdoctoral work on understanding the prevalence and impact of
antibiotic resistant bacteria on behavior and survival in American
Crows in the mid-Hudson Valley. I encourage students and citizen
scientists to get involved in order to broaden their research
horizons or simply to learn about another study system.
