Background
- Research focuses on how animals interact with the environment and each other to affect ecosystem processes at landscape scales.
- Integrates community and ecosystem ecology, animal behavior, and remote sensing to explore animal-ecosystem interactions in a spatially explicit manner.
- Examines how global change—including climate and land-use change—alters animal-driven processes and their ecosystem impacts.
- Uses field measurements, GPS telemetry, and remote sensing (including LiDAR, hyperspectral, and satellite data) in research.
- Investigates topics ranging from animal roles in vegetation shaping and nutrient cycling to how habitat heterogeneity changes influence animal behavior and ecosystem effects.
