Research Interests

Conservation, behavioral and population ecology

Research Description

We study conservation, behavior and population biology toward the goals of understanding the influence of climate change, managing endangered or commercially-valuable wildlife, or by understanding the factors shaping life histories to satisfy our curiosity about…[read more]

Wildlife Ecology, Conservation and Socioeconomics

Research Description

The catastrophic global decline of biodiversity is widely recognized as among the most pressing problems we face as a society. The biological, economic and social consequences of depauperate oceans, tundras, savannas and forests remain unclear…[read more]

Research Interests

Ecosystem and Landscape Ecology, Remote Sensing and GIS, Biodiversity and Conservation, Coupled Human and Natural Systems

Research Description

I am interested in diverse aspects of landscape ecology including: multi-scale structure of ecosystems and scaling of ecological processes from local to regional and global levels; the role of spatial heterogeneity in ecosystem response to disturbance,…[read more]

Research Interests

Evolutionary ecology, systematics, spider biology, conservation

Research Description

My research focuses on understanding evolutionary patterns and processes among populations and species. My primary focus is on islands, particularly remote hotspot islands of the Pacific.

Hotspot archipelagoes – in which islands emanate from a single…[read more]

Research Interests

Fish Ecology, Conservation, Inland Waters, Water Quality, Aquatic Invertebrates, Biochronology, Hatcheries

Research Description

I am broadly interested in the ecology and conservation of inland waters. My master’s research focused on investigating the relationship between environmental temperatures and juvenile steelhead trout growth patterns, estimated by otolith microanalysis, at the…[read more]

Research Interests

Conservation biology

Research Description

My primary focus is in the field of conservation biology. In particular, I am interested in the forces that influence loss of biodiversity at all hierarchical levels from genes to ecosystems. My experience spans from…[read more]

Research Interests

Plant Community Ecology; Restoration, Invasion biology, Environmental change, Conservation

Research Description

I am a plant community ecologist working at the interface of ecosystem, landscape and population biology. My goal is to apply cutting-edge “usable” science to the challenges of restoration, species invasion, and environmental change. My research group…[read more]

Research Description

I am broadly interested in applying interdisciplinary landscape-level approach for biodiversity conservation. More specifically, I use geographic information systems (GIS) and remote sensing for monitoring and conservation of rangelands in California and Southern Africa. For my…[read more]
