littMy primary research interests include understanding the effects of abiotic and biotic factors on  wildlife communities and populations. I and my students examine changes to wildlife resulting from various human activities including invasive plants, altered disturbance regimes, and changes in land use.  We work on a diversity of taxa, based on the ecological question of interest. Here are some photos of us at work.

I'm also co-host (with Chris Guy) of a podcast called "Today's Voices of Conservation Science", which is available on iTunes, Stitcher, Spotify, and on our website
