RESEARCH INTERESTS & BACKGROUND:
My research interests are broad, but generally revolve around landscapes, spatial processes, and conservation of wildlife. I am an ecologist with a fondness for amphibians and reptiles and a particular passion for plethodontid salamanders, which are the most diverse group of amphibians in North America. Ultimately, my research seeks to answer fundamental ecological questions to serve as the foundation for informed management and conservation of landscapes as well as the wildlife communities that inhabit them. I am particularly interested in integrating fine scale field observations and experiments with landscape-level patterns and processes. As such, my research relies on a blend of field surveys, manipulative experimentation, GIS-based landscape analyses, individual-based and population modeling, and population/landscape genetics.
I am also involved in a number of collaborative projects. Please view my research page to find our more about my research and collaborations.
