Research Interests
I
am a conservation biologist with interest in both plant and animal
ecology. Three components of my research are 1) the importance of
focal species' behavior in designing reserves, 2) the restoration of
natural communities to recreate habitat that meets the life history
needs of endangered species, and 3) the influence of landscape
processes on ecological restoration.
