Allison Cox is the content editor for The Journal of Wildlife Management and Wildlife Monographs. She joined TWS in 2011 and is responsible for editing and production of both journals. Allison obtained a Bachelor of Science degree in Zoology from the University of Florida in 1996. After a few years in the insurance industry, she worked as a zookeeper at the Jacksonville Zoo and then as an avian field technician in Arizona, Hawaii, and Venezuela. She obtained a Master of Science degree in Fisheries and Wildlife from the University of Missouri in 2011 with research focused on natal dispersal of woodpeckers.

Allison currently lives in Gainesville, Florida with her husband and their deservedly spoiled dog and cat. She enjoys hiking, staring at birds, kayaking, snorkeling, attempting to grow native plants, and oversharing pet photos.
