Evolutionary BiologyMy research
uses a variety of scientific approaches to integrate applied,
theoretical, and basic research. I use field experiments, long-term
demographic studies, and mathematical models to study how species
interact with each other and their environment, all with a conservation
underpinning. My current
research focuses on five major areas:
●
Assessing
the effect of competition on the stability of species assemblages
●
Using
matrix succession models to project population dynamics among
species
●
Studying
the effect of management practices on the recovery of endangered
species
●
Examining
trophic cascades in fragmented coastal sage scrub habitat
●
Testing the role of ecological
constraints in the
evolution of cooperative breeding
My research is conducted in Tallahassee (Florida), San Diego
(California), and Carmel Valley (California).
