My research seeks to address wildlife conservation and management issues and encompasses themes of applied statistics, population ecology, and spatial ecology. I primarily focus on at-risk species including pollinators and migratory birds and their responses to stressors such as environmental disturbances and climate change. I’m additionally interested in the use of new technologies and remote sensing as non-invasive methods for monitoring biological systems.
