In addition, we are keenly interested in the interaction between humans and the environment, which has large implications for policy, land management, and conservation solutions. These broad interests necessarily require diverse partnerships, datasets, and analytical techniques. We work closely with our partners to integrate concepts and approaches to gain additional insight and identify conservation opportunities. We generally work with mammalian carnivores, which have spanned from jaguarundis and badgers within rangelands to Canada lynx, wolverine, and mountain lions within forests. Applied issues motivate our work, but we strive to place these questions within a strong theoretical foundation to advance both management and science.
