USGS Staff Profile:
'@context': https://schema.org '@type': Person affiliation: [] description: - '@type': TextObject abstract: Supervisory Research Ecologist with the Western Ecological Research Center (WERC) additionalType: short description - '@type': TextObject abstract: Dr. Barbara Kus is a Research Ecologist with the Western Ecological Research Center. additionalType: staff profile page introductory statement - '@type': TextObject abstract: Dr. Kus designs and conducts original field research on avian ecology and conservation to support science-based natural resource management in national and international contexts. Dr. Kus interacts closely with federal, state, and local resource managers and regulatory agencies to prioritize research needs, and design and conduct investigations to meet those needs. As a scientist broadly trained in ecology and evolutionary biology, she focuses her research on integrating management, which is typically short-term and threats-driven, with an evolutionary perspective that seeks longer-term sustainability of species and ecosystems through maintenance of evolutionary processes required for persistence. A theme of her research is that it is strategically long-term, yielding unique datasets that incorporate spatial and temporal patterns of response to environmental variability needed for this evolutionary perspective.RESEARCH INTERESTSEcology and Conservation of Endangered Riparian BirdsResponse of Riparian Bird Communities to Habitat RestorationEcology and Population Trends of Neotropical Migratory BirdsPopulation Genetic Structure of Endangered BirdsPost-wildfire Recovery of Riparian and Coastal Sage Scrub Bird Communities and Habitats additionalType: personal statement email: barbara_kus@usgs.gov hasCredential: - '@type': EducationalOccupationalCredential name: Ph.D., Ecology, University of California, Davis, CA 1985 - '@type': EducationalOccupationalCredential name: M.S., Ecology, University of California, Davis, CA 1980 - '@type': EducationalOccupationalCredential name: B.S., Anthropology, University of California, Davis, CA 1977 - '@type': EducationalOccupationalCredential name: B.A., Zoology, University of California, Davis, CA 1977 hasOccupation: - '@type': OrganizationalRole affiliatedOrganization: '@type': Organization name: Western Ecological Research Center (WERC) url: https://www.usgs.gov/centers/werc roleName: Supervisory Research Ecologist startDate: '2024-05-12T16:09:53.430623' identifier: - '@type': PropertyValue propertyID: GeoKB value: https://geokb.wikibase.cloud/entity/Q54202 - '@type': PropertyValue propertyID: ORCID value: 0000-0002-3679-3044 jobTitle: Supervisory Research Ecologist knowsAbout: [] memberOf: '@type': OrganizationalRole member: '@type': Organization name: U.S. Geological Survey name: staff member startDate: '2024-05-12T16:09:53.427738' name: Barbara Kus url: https://www.usgs.gov/staff-profiles/barbara-kus
