   abstract: Dr. Biggins has been interested in grassland ecology since 1981. Within
     that broad topic his research has involved varied themes, including aspects
     of behavioral ecology, predator-prey relationships, and ecology of wildlife
     diseases. Most of his investigations have been motivated by their application
     to conservation and recovery of federally listed species. In that context, Dr.
     Biggins has worked at field study sites from Montana to Chihuahua, Mexico, as
     well as in Inner Mongolia and the Tibetan Plateau. Research has involved students
     at various universities (in CA, CO, ID, NM, MI, MO, TX, WY, France, and China).
     Taxa of interest have been carnivores (e.g., black-footed ferrets, Siberian
     polecats, badgers, weasels, coyotes, foxes), rodents, arthropods (fleas, ticks),
     and bacteria (Yersinia pestis). His present research emphasis is on ecology
     of plague, including its hosts and vectors, concentrating on maintenance of
     plague and its chronic effects on wildlife populations and ecosystems during
     inter-epizootic periods.
