Area(s) of Research

I am an applied ecologist. My professional interests include conservation genetics, landscape ecology, community ecology, and the roles of predation and competition in driving space use by species. Although my research tends to utilize carnivore species as model organisms, the approaches I commonly employ (e.g., conservation genetic analyses, capture-recapture modeling, occupancy modeling) are amendable to many taxa and systems. My research aims to advance our understanding of ecological processes, while confronting applied problems with ecological hypotheses and to elucidate processes driving complex population dynamics and inform wildlife management. To this end, I use a combination of intensive field-based research, laboratory-based methods and ecological modeling. I strive to be collaborative; only though diversity in thoughts can we expect to tackle some of the most pressing and emerging management needs.
