I am interested in population ecology, conservation biology and behavioural ecology. My research projects aim to understand the effects that individual differences at the behavioural and genetic levels, in interaction with environmental factors, have on reproductive success, habitat selection and population dynamics. A major goal of my research is to produce knowledge useful for the conservation and management of large mammals.
A crowdfunding campaign has been launched by the Rocky Mountain Goat Alliance Conservation Fund to support research projects on the mountain goat in the interests of conservation. You can contribute here!
