Andy Boyce is a Research Ecologist at Smithsonian Conservation Biology Institute’s Migratory Bird Center. His work focuses on 1) understanding how keystone species and grazing systems impact biodiversity in grassland ecosystems; and 2) what factors regulate populations of imperiled grassland birds at all stages of the annual cycle.
Andy also has a strong interest in understanding how different models of conservation

Twenty-three years after being declared “extinct in the wild”, the scimitar-horned oryx has made a remarkable comeback. Smithsonian ecologist Katherine Mertes shares how the species reached the turning point.

Smithsonian’s Great Plains Science Program has partnered with Aaniiih and Nakoda Tribes of Fort Belknap Indian Community in northern Montana, in an effort to reintroduce the Nóouhàh-Toka’na, or swift fox.  Conservation efforts have brought swift foxes back to 40% of their original range, but a 186-mile (300 kilometer) gap across their range in Montana threatens their survival.

Crosscutting Concepts: patterns, cause and effect, systems and systems models

Once believed extinct, the black-footed ferret is one of North America’s most endangered mammals, with fewer than 300 individuals living in the wild today. Thanks to reintroduction efforts, small populations now exist across parts of western North America.  However, their survival depends on one key species: prairie dogs.
