My research is broadly centered on conservation biology and animal responses to global change. I focus on two parallel lines of inquiry: (1) How do extrinsic exposure and intrinsic sensitivity of species interact to shape their responses to global change drivers, including 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? I am interested in how we can integrate advances in global change ecology with applications of conservation science.
