Bram Verheijen grew up in the Netherlands and received his bachelor’s degree in Biology and master’s degree in Ecology and Evolution from the University of Groningen, the Netherlands. Afterwards, Bram spread his wings, moved to the Midwest, and received his PhD from Kansas State University studying the response of grassland songbirds to cattle grazing and prescribed fire.

After several short research projects on wetland connectivity in the Rainwater Basin, Nebraska, and space use and movement ecology of Lesser Prairie-chickens (Tympanuchus pallidicinctus) in Kansas, Bram is currently a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Missouri studying long-term changes in the geographic distributions of wintering waterfowl in the Central and Mississippi Flyways in central North America.
