Jeff Bowman is affiliated with the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry in Canada. Their research is primarily situated within the field of Environmental Science, with a significant focus on Ecology and its related subfields. Over their career, they have contributed extensively to multiple areas of study, including Ecology, Infectious Diseases, Genetics, Ecological Modeling, and Ecology, Evolution, Behavior and Systematics.

The main topics in their work encompass:

  • Wildlife Ecology and Conservation
  • Animal Ecology and Behavior Studies
  • Species Distribution and Climate Change
  • Wildlife-Road Interactions and Conservation
  • SARS-CoV-2 and COVID-19 Research
  • Animal Virus Infections Studies
  • Genetic diversity and population structure

Jeff Bowman has coauthored multiple papers with frequent collaborators including Samira Mubareka, Bradley Pickering, Sasha L. Newar, Paul J. Wilson, and Jonathon D. Kotwa. Their frequent publication venues include bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory), Ecology and Evolution, Canadian Journal of Zoology, PeerJ, and Wildlife Biology.

Among their recent published papers are:

  • Divergent SARS-CoV-2 variant emerges in white-tailed deer with deer-to-human transmission, 2022, Nature Microbiology
  • Continent-wide effects of urbanization on bird and mammal genetic diversity, 2020, Proceedings of the Royal Society B Biological Sciences
  • Highly divergent white-tailed deer SARS-CoV-2 with potential deer-to-human transmission, 2022, bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory)
  • Comparison of methods for estimating omnidirectional landscape connectivity, 2021, Landscape Ecology
  • Predicting areas important for ecological connectivity throughout Canada, 2023, PLoS ONE

Their publication record features contributions that span ecological connectivity, landscape modeling, genetic diversity, and infectious disease dynamics within wildlife populations. This includes investigations into SARS-CoV-2 variants in wildlife hosts and the implications for transmission to humans.
