My research is broadly centered on conservation biology and ecological responses to global change, especially in working landscapes. I focus on two parallel lines of inquiry: (1) How do exposure and sensitivity of species shape their responses to global change drivers, such as land use and climate change? (2) Through rigorous impact evaluation of conservation interventions, how can we improve the implementation and placement of these interventions in the future?
