Chris Maguire is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Forest Science at Oregon State University. She received her B.A. in Biology from William Paterson College (NJ) in 1975 and her M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in Zoology/Ecology from Rutgers University (NJ) in 1978 and 1983, respectively. Chris has served as a Research Wildlife Biologist in the U.S.D.A. Forest Service Pacific Northwest Research Station Wildlife Habitat Relationships in Western Washington and Oregon Project in Olympia, Washington, and as a National Research Council Research Associate and Research Biologist in Wildlife Toxicology at the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Corvallis Environmental Research Laboratory in Oregon.
Chris has also held faculty appointments as a Vertebrate Ecologist in the Center for Environmental Sciences at Unity College (ME) and as a Terrestrial Ecologist in the Center for Environmental Studies at Western Washington University (WA). She has conducted research on wildlife responses to clearcut logging, to alternative silvicultural manipulations, and to tree corridors in managed forests; habitat relationships of spotted owl prey species; the influence of exotic plant species on small mammal habitat use; the interactive effects of temperature and pesticide exposure in gallinaceous birds; and salamander energetics.
Her current research interests are effects of environmental perturbations on animal populations, wildlife associations with landscape mosaics, and wildlife habitat relationships. Chris is currently completing a two-year term as Associate Editor for the Wildlife Society Bulletin.
