Research Interests
My research interests span the areas of ecology, evolution,
genetics, and conservation biology. I am
particualy interested
in questions related to dispersal, the evolution of mating systems,
animal communication, territorial
behavior,
and the influence of behavior on the likelihood of population
persistence in fragmented landscapes. The majority of my research
experience has involved the application of molecular markers (e.g.
microsatellite DNA markers) to address questions in these areas.
