individual record
Associate Professor
Positions:
- Associate Professor, Wildlife and Fisheries Sciences, College of Agriculture and Life Sciences
overview
My research interest is in quantitative population ecology, with a particular emphasis on understanding the dynamics of fish and wildlife populations. My studies focus on individual and population level processes because I believe a deeper knowledge of these processes will lead to a deeper understanding of how the environment affects ecological processes.
