Patrick J. Ruhl

I am a Clinical Assistant Professor in the the Forestry and Natural Resources Department at Purdue University. I teach several FNR undergraduate courses, including Wildlife Investigational Techniques, Ornithology, Herpetology, and Natural Resources Statistics.

​​​​​​

In addition to my teaching efforts, I also provide undergraduate students with hands-on opportunities to gain experience handling birds and collecting data for long-term monitoring efforts both at nearby FNR properties, and at our annual practicum in Michigan's Upper Peninsula. 

 

My research interests include wildlife biology and conservation with a more specific focus on the impacts of anthropogenic disturbance on wildlife ecology. Some of my current research projects involve describing the roosting ecology of White-throated Sparrows, and the breeding and migratory ecology of Cerulean Warblers.
