	Dean Biggins conducts wildlife research with the United States Geological Survey (USGS) and serves as an adjunct faculty member in the Department of Biology at Colorado State University. He has studied grassland ecology since 1981, but 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, including extensive research in the recovery of black-footed ferrets.</p>
