Research: I try to understand the spatio-temporal context for species ability to occupy, and ultimately persist, in the landscape. I am deeply interested in the intersection of landscape and metapopulation ecology, applying novel applications of traditional methods to better understand structural, functional, and temporally dynamic connectivity for the protected water vole in Northwest Scotland.

Research: My interest is in rare species population ecology, in particular, how to effectively track population trends over time and investigate environmental drivers affecting those trends to inform conservation practices. My research focuses on using spatial capture-recapture and visual head count techniques to estimate the population size of northern diamondback terrapin in Wellfleet Bay, Massachusetts.
