As a wildlife ecologist, I seek to understand the factors underlying the distribution and abundance of free-ranging animal populations. Advances in spatial technologies (GIS and GPS) allow us to study the movements, habitat use, and survival of wide-ranging animals in great detail, providing critical links between observable animal behavior and population-level patterns of species occurrence and abundance. It is within this realm that my research interests lie, and my experience has largely been with wide-ranging species such as elk and wolves. |

I became part of the faculty at SUNY-ESF in the fall of 2006. In 2007, students in my lab embarked upon a statewide study of coyote population status and foraging ecology in New York State that is funded by the NY State Department of Environmental Conservation. This year I will be offering two new courses, a landscape ecology course for graduate and advanced undergraduate students, and a field-based course in Alaska (in collaboration with Upstate Medical Center). |
