Research
My research focuses primarily on the ecology and dynamics of wildlife populations,
especially in the context of management and conservation problems. I am particularly
interested in 1) integrating appropriate quantitative analysis of empirical
data with ecological theory to better address questions and hypotheses concerning
wildlife population dynamics and 2) integrating scientific research on wildlife
populations and ecology with the sustainable use of natural resources. My current
research centers on a long-term study examining the population dynamics of northern
spotted owls in northwest California. This study has examined long-term trends
in spotted owl populations, life-history strategies, and the effects of climate
and habitat variation on fitness. In addition to continuing the work on northern
spotted owls, I have also collaborated on estimating survival of North American
avian species using band recovery models and developing a range-wide monitoring
program for Mexican spotted owls.
