Research Interests
Broadly, my interest is evolutionary ecology, but my passion is understanding variation in life history strategies, both within and among species. Currently, I am examining how vegetative phenology, food availability, competition, and predation risk interact with individual condition to influence stopover site selection and subsequent behaviors in migratory birds.
More generally I am interested in:
- Life history evolution
- Avian ecology
- Behavioral ecology
- Physiological ecology
- Conservation biology
- Adaptive management
- Human impact biology
