About
Andrew Goldklank Fulmer is a behavioral ecologist whose research explores how urbanization reshapes animal communication and decision-making. His most-cited work, a 2010 study on multimodal alarm behavior in gray squirrels, ingeniously combined field observation with a mechanical robot to compare urban and rural populations. This paper, with over 100 citations, demonstrated that urban squirrels exhibit altered alarm signaling, likely adapting to human-dominated landscapes. Fulmer’s contributions lie in bridging robotics and ethology to test animal behavior in natural settings, revealing the subtle impacts of environmental change on communication systems. His work has influenced studies on urban ecology, sensory ecology, and animal cognition, providing a framework for understanding how species cope with anthropogenic pressures. Beyond this flagship study, Fulmer has investigated social learning and risk assessment in mammals, earning recognition for innovative methodologies. His research not only advances fundamental knowledge of behavioral plasticity but also informs conservation strategies for wildlife in expanding urban areas.
