Overview
I am a global change ecologist interested in understanding how individuals respond to environmental change and how these responses scale up to influence populations and communities.
Research Interests
I have worked on a variety of study systems, but my work primarily focuses on birds and plants in a range of ecosystems including boreal, temperate and tropical forests and tallgrass prairies. I typically combine both behavioural and population ecology and use a variety of techniques to develop a mechanistic understanding of the responses of widlife to global change.
My work currently investigates:
- Winter ecology
- Food caching behaviour
- How behaviour shapes functional characteristics of the microbiome
- Interactive effects of land use and climate on prairie plant population dynamics
- Population dynamics of boreal breeding songbirds
Postgraduate Project Opportunities
I am willing to supervise a PhD
