The Department of Wildlife and
Fisheries Sciences will present Dr.
Joseph J. Hickey, professor of
Wildlife Ecology at the University
of Wisconsin at Madison as their
first speaker in their 1977-78 lecture
series.
He will speak on “The Ecology of
Recent Vertebrate Extinction” on
Tuesday at 7:30 p.m. in 226 MSC.
This lecture will deal mostly with
birds and mammals and give exam
ples of four general natural extinc
tion phenomena. They are competi
tion, climatic change, geological
change, and trapped insular popula
tions.
The possible extinction of modern
species will be examined in terms of
their overspecialization, contactabil-
ity and association with man.
Hickey has been an outstanding
researcher in the fields of popula
tion ecology, environmental con
tamination relating to bird life, and
rare and endangered species. He
has published more than 100 papers
and articles on wildlife and is best
