My research is focused on three primary areas: (1) breeding and foraging ecology of seabirds and shorebirds, (2) wildlife conservation physiology, and (3) wildlife ecology in urban and natural systems. I have conducted research and monitoring programs in a variety of marine and terrestrial ecosystems and have studied both avian and mammalian populations. All of my research has been driven by management and conservation issues, although the results are often of both an applied and basic nature.

My current and prior work has emphasized wildlife conservation with emphases in marine ornithology, avian ecology, reproductive energetics, foraging ecology, survey design and methodology, and urban ecology.

Work in my lab includes a combination of field and lab-based ecological research that focuses on both theoretical and applied questions in the areas of community ecology, population ecology, and conservation biology. My research largely relates to the conservation and management of large vertebrates such as carnivores or marine turtles. My research examines the temporal and spatial variation in movement patterns, habitat selection, and population ecology of wildlife. I also work to develop meaningful environmental policy and management recommendations based on my ecological research. While much of my work focuses on endangered and threatened species, I seek to understand the role species play in structuring communities and in maintaining ecosystem function.
