Current Research |
I am a population and community ecologist that uses advanced quantitative tools to improve our knowledge of how species interact with their environment and with other co-occurring species. I work closely with practitioners, decision-makers and stakeholders to then apply this knowledge to advance conservation and sustainability initiatives. My current work on avian communities and conservation spans the Americas, with a particular focus on North and Central America.
My research program has three main themes: 1) Community Ecology, 2) Biodiversity Conservation, and 3) Ecosystem Health. Click on the images above for more information on our specific projects. For a deeper dive into this work, check out our recent peer-reviewed publications and press-releases!
Prospective Students and Postdoctoral Researchers:
To learn more about potential opportunities to get involved in this work, check out the Research Opportunities page. I am particularly interested in mentoring undergraduate students that want to pursue their own research question(s) or want to help with research in progress for credit. No previous experience is required - just an enthusiasm to learn about birds, ecology and conservation!
I am also happy to connect students with any of the awesome research that is ongoing at the Center for Avian Population Studies. Just send me an email at [email protected] with your interests!
