All of the research conducted in our lab follows the same general approach. We use theory from population ecology, metapopulation ecology, and landscape ecology to develop hypotheses about the effects of management actions on animal population dynamics. We evaluate these hypotheses by first formalizing them as statistical models, and then fitting these models to data from carefully designed field studies and experiments. This process often requires the development of new statistical models, which is one component of our lab’s program.
The following is a list of some of the major themes we work on, with links to specific projects:
