Research in my lab integrates global change biology with behavioral and spatial ecology to study the effects of environmental variability and change on vertebrate populations. By bridging theories and methods across terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems, we seek to ask and answer questions that enhance our understanding of and capacity to manage the natural world. Our work combines fieldwork, modeling, and interdisciplinary approaches, centering on three themes: 1. Understanding the drivers of large-scale animal movements 2. Linking environmental processes and change to animal behavior, individual fitness, population persistence, community dynamics, and human-wildlife interactions 3. Applying spatial and behavioral ecology to inform wildlife management and conservation.
