Visiting Assistant Professor, Biology
My research interests focus on spatiotemporal population dynamics as they relate to
the ecology and
conservation of different taxa. Namely, my research focuses on utilizing population
dynamics and
ecological theory to better inform management and conservation of wildlife. My work
spans taxa
(plants to mammals), spatial scale (microsite to landscape), and temporal scale (intra-annual
to
decadal).
