Humans are causing vast changes to the ecology of our planet. Climates are becoming warmer and more variable, and increasingly landscapes are being disturbed and fragmented altering species distributions. My research seeks to explain the ecological consequences of increasing temporal variability and spatial heterogeneity to selected wildlife species, embracing new methods for study of stochastic demography, movement dynamics, changing distributions, and population dynamics. Some of these quantitative tools have conservation applications, e.g., movement models such as step-selection functions can help us to identify corridors for movement of animals between areas of habitat.

人类正在对我们星球的生态学造成巨大变化。气候变得越来越温暖，变化越来越多，越来越多的景观正在受到干扰和零散的改变物种分布。 我的研究旨在解释对选定野生动植物物种增加时间变异性和空间异质性的生态后果，其中包含用于研究随机人口统计学，运动动态，变化分布和种群动态的新方法。 这些定量工具中的一些具有保护应用，例如，诸如阶跃选择功能之类的运动模型可以帮助我们确定栖息地区域之间动物运动的走廊。
