Research My interests lie broad in wildlife and community ecology. My master’s thesis focused on the ecosystem engineering role of mountain lions in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem in supporting carrion-dependent insect communities. My current research involves three separate projects with a special emphasis on the ecology and conservation of forest owls in California. For my …
Research During my time in undergraduate research, I primarily studied small mammal species diversity in various habitats in Northeastern Missouri. Over a two year span, we captured, identified and released mammals to compared the number and abundance of each species with the Shannon index in each habitat. Here at UW-Madison, I am broadly interested in …
Research My research interests revolve around applied ecology, conservation biology, and predator-prey interactions. I earned my B.S. in Fisheries and Wildlife at Michigan State University, where I studied a range of topics from human predation to Lyme disease ecology to black bears. During my M.S. In Wildlife Ecology and Conservation at the University of Florida, I studied novel detection …
Research I am broadly interested in wildlife ecology, behavior, and conservation, especially concerning birds. Particularly how animals interact with other individuals and their environment, migration, and adaptations to a changing landscape. I worked on the Sierra Nevada Monitoring project for two seasons as the crew lead in the southern region. Now, I am a PhD …
Research My broad interests in herpetology and ornithology have taken me from studying turtles in central Pennsylvania, to frogs and toads in Memphis, TN, and across the marshes, dunes, and swamps of the East Coast to study birds. Through such experiences, I’ve learned that my specific interests involve applied conservation methods for threatened and endangered …
