Research in the lab covers all aspects of applied wildlife population ecology. In particular we focus on evaluating how animal demographic rates (survival and reproduction) change across time, space, and among individuals, how human activities affect those relationships, and the consequence of all of the above to the dynamics of populations and their continued persistence.
