My passion is conservation biology, but my research involves a wide range of topics, all geared toward mammalian population ecology. I enjoy studying the interactions between mammals and their food sources, movement ecology of small and large mammals, and specifically which factors could lead to an increase of decrease in species abundance. I use a variety of techniques to answer research questions, including microhistology, stable isotope analysis, GIS, etc.
