Lab Introduction:Animal Ecology Laboratory

My research interests span a broad spectrum of ecological organization, from behavioral to landscape ecology. I try to combine field and laboratory experiments, model simulations, and molecular techniques to explore ecological questions of interest to me. Graduate and undergraduate students in our lab continue to study the various aspects of small mammal ecology, several of them have expanded to work with other taxa. I welcome independent characters with curious minds to join our research group. Come, bring in your ideas!
