These cover Wildlife Ecology and Conservation, Marine animal studies overview, Isotope Analysis in Ecology, Arctic and Antarctic ice dynamics, Indigenous Studies and Ecology, Rangeland and Wildlife Management, and Animal Ecology and Behavior Studies.

Recent publications authored or co-authored by Roth highlight contributions to understanding ecological dynamics and animal behavior in northern and Arctic environments. Selected papers include:

  • Variation in the diet of beluga whales in response to changes in prey availability: insights on changes in the Beaufort Sea ecosystem (2020), Marine Ecology Progress Series
  • Red foxes at their northern edge: competition with the Arctic fox and winter movements (2021), Journal of Mammalogy
  • Arctic fox winter dietary response to damped lemming cycles estimated from fecal DNA (2021), Journal of Mammalogy
  • Patchy indirect effects of predation: predators contribute to landscape heterogeneity and ecosystem function via localized pathways (2023), Oikos
  • Foxes fertilize the subarctic forest and modify vegetation through denning (2021), Scientific Reports

Roth has frequently collaborated with a number of co-authors across their research projects. These include Chloé Warret Rodrigues, Sean Johnson-Bice, John Markham, Steven H. Ferguson, and David J. Yurkowski. Repeat collaboration indicates ongoing research partnerships within ecological and environmental science communities.

The venues in which Roth publishes predominantly cover ecological and biological sciences. Frequent publication venues include the SSRN Electronic Journal, Polar Biology, bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory), Research Square, and Marine Ecology Progress Series.

Related Online Degrees & Career Pathways

Exploring Ecology and Evolution opens doors to a variety of rewarding careers and advanced study options. Many related fields now offer flexible online education pathways for students from different backgrounds, making it easier to pivot into new science and health professions.

For instance, those interested in speech and communication may consider accredited speech pathology programs offered online. These programs meet rigorous standards and prepare graduates for clinical roles. If you do not have an undergraduate background in speech-language pathology, several universities offer an online speech-language pathology prerequisites program that bridges the gap for non-SLP majors.

Similarly, career changers drawn to healthcare can pursue the best online BSN programs for non nurses. These online, accelerated degrees allow those with a non-nursing background to qualify as registered nurses.

For those interested in mental health, becoming a psychiatric nurse practitioner promises strong job prospects, and salaries can vary widely – see psychiatric nurse practitioner salary by state for more information. Each of these pathways illustrates the flexibility and possibilities available through online and hybrid degree programs in the sciences.
