Professor Buckley's primary research interests are in the areas of coastal ecology, avian behavioral ecology, conservation biology and management of colonially nesting waterbirds on a world-wide basis. Barrier island ecology and of colonially nesting waterbird populations in littoral environments are particular research foci. Currently, Professor Buckley is one of four Principal Investigators on a multidisciplinary National Biological Service/National Park Service research project investigating the relationships between Neotropical passerine migrants, ticks, Lyme disease, and mammals at Fire island National Seashore, Long Island, New York. Additionally, as Editor of the Colonial Waterbird Society Bulletin, and a Council Member of the Colonial Waterbird society, she maintains an extensive foreign correspondence and information exchange with other Colonial Waterbird Biologists in over 37 countries.
