Research in our lab is focused on the population ecology and conservation of vertebrates. We use interdisciplinary approaches, often integrating genetic and genomic tools with population and landscape modeling and the collection of observational and ecological data. We address fundamental and applied questions about animal dispersal, population structure and gene flow, ecological adaptation, and occupancy and abundance monitoring.
