Applied Quantitative Ecology

We develop and apply quantitative methods that translate ecological theory into conservation action and decision making. Our focus is the spatial processes driving the dynamics of populations and communities, studied through observational data collected using a range of ecological sensors and sampling designs. Our research is multidisciplinary and built around co-developed challenges.
