Professor Nolan studies the ecology and behavior of birds, principally passeriforms. His current interests are mating systems and parental behavior and the hormonal regulation of these, natal dispersal and the development of site attachment in both migratory and nonmigratory passerines, dominance, and differential migration and the differential winter distribution that such migration produces. He works almost entirely with free-living birds.
