Dr. Buckley's primary areas of research are the ecology, population biology, and management of seabirds and other colonially nesting waterbirds around the world, and avian genetics and evolution. Secondarily, he has become involved with a wide variety of problems in the management of coastal areas, notably barrier islands, in the U.S. and internationally. He maintains an interest in avian zoogeography, population trends, and migration patterns, especially as they relate to the conservation of natural areas in the U.S. and in developing and developed countries.
