Milo Richmond joined the Department in 1968, as an Assistant Professor, and Assistant Unit Leader of the New York Cooperative Fish and Wildlife Research Unit. He became Unit Leader in 1977. The broad research objectives of the Unit Leader are twofold: (1) To promote and facilitate an integrated research program for the Unit as a whole through team leadership and (2) to maintain a personal research program that is part of the integrated program. Current personal research of the Unit Leader falls into three categories a) species of special concern b) vertebrate community ecology and c) wildlife damage management.

Research

Richmond's research interests involve all of the major vertebrate taxa. He has directed graduate students in the areas of wildlife ecology, organismal biology, reproductive studies, and behavior in a variety of taxa. He currently has research projects involving (i) analysis of biodiversity in the Hudson River Corridor, (ii) population dynamics of colonial waterbirds, immunocontraception of white-tailed deer, and population dynamics of cormorants.
