Thank you for visiting the Prairie Dog Project website, showcasing behavioral ecologist John Hoogland's long-term study on this colonial grassland rodent. Our investment in prairie dog research has been driven by years of scientific curiosity and pursuit, but we also have great affection for these unique animals. By sharing our research, our ...
Professor John Hoogland completed his Bachelor of Science (1971) and Ph.D. (1977) at the University of Michigan. After completing a postdoc at the University of Minnesota (1979) and serving as an Assistant Professor at Princeton University for several years, John joined the Appalachian Laboratory of the University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science in 1985, where he is currently a Professor of Wildlife Ecology. Since he first saw them when he was a graduate student in 1974, prairie ...
John L. Hoogland Populations are often composed of more than just randomly mating subpopulations - many organisms from social groups with distinct patterns of mating and dispersal.
When John Hoogland first visited a prairie dog colony as a young graduate student, he said aloud to himself, "I could study these animals for the next 10 years." Forty-four years later, John is still studying prairie dogs, and he still marvels about the sometimes bizarre, often provocative, and always fascinating lives of his favourite animals.
