I am a conservation biologist with interest in both plant and animal ecology. Three components of my research are 1) the importance of focal species' behavior in designing reserves, 2) the restoration of natural communities to recreate habitat that meets the life history needs of endangered species, and 3) the influence of landscape processes on ecological restoration. At NCEAS, my primary research focuses on using dispersal behavior of endangered species to ask how landscape features influence reserve design and habitat restoration and, more broadly, approaches to incorporating landscape processes into ecological restoration.
