About Jesse R. Barber

Dr. Jesse Barber joined the Biological Sciences faculty at Boise State University in 2011. Before coming to Boise, he was a Postdoctoral Research Associate at Colorado State University where, in collaboration with the Natural Sounds Program of the National Park Service in Fort Collins, he has been researching the masking effects of anthropogenic noise on predator/prey interactions. Dr. Barber earned both his B.S. and M.S. at the University of Wyoming, and then a Ph.D. in Biology at Wake Forest University in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. Dr. Barber and his students study the behavior, evolution and conservation of predator-prey systems employing bioacoustic, videographic and 3D reconstruction techniques to quantify how animals process sensory input and act on the resulting information to capture prey or evade death.
