Robert Sikes received his BS from the University of Arkansas at Little Rock, MS from Memphis State University, and PhD from the University of Minnesota. He has worked exclusively with wild animals in the field and in the lab to address questions in behavioral and evolutionary ecology. Sikes has worked with mammal species ranging from shrews to giant pandas and has dabbled with reptiles and fish. He is professor emeritus at the University of Arkansas at Little Rock. Sikes is co-chair of the ACUC of the American Society of Mammalogists and was senior author on the last two revisions of the Guidelines of the American Society of Mammalogists for the use of Wild Mammals in Research (2011 and 2016). With regard to oversight of animal use, he has long been interested in the fit of wild animals to guidelines and regulatory landscapes designed for domesticated species.
