I have focused my research activities in the field of applied ecology in an attempt to understand environmental factors affecting the distribution and abundance of animals in managed ecosystems. Because of the broad ways in which humans influence animal populations, I work collaboratively on a wide range of taxa and ecosystems. I attempt to incorporate theoretical and empirical approaches to better understand how animal populations respond to environmental stressors. My research is focused at several levels, ranging from understanding space-use of individuals, the effect of individual performance to population dynamics, and ultimately to the landscape scale, where I have been interested in how landscape patterns affect individual movement patterns and demographic performance.
