Greetings!

Ecology is a science, and thus like all fields in science has its foundation in mathematics. It is because of my belief that math plays such an important role in ecology that I would define myself first as a "quantitative ecologist". My strengths include such areas as analytical and simulation modeling, computer programming, and of course statistics. 

As for my research, I am broadly interested in carnivore ecology, predator-prey interactions, and population dynamics. I am especially interested in how knowledge in such fields can be used in conservation, and much of my research deals with examining factors that may improve the likelihood of success in conservation efforts. Research in my lab includes field studies of the meso-predator release hypothesis, bear ecology, community interactions between predators, ecology of wolves, coyote ecology, as well as simulation studies of wolf viability, hybrid zones among species, and the use of statistics in ecological studies.
