Research Interests
My primary research interests involve avian ecology and conservation. Particular interests include examining influences of habitat composition and landscape patterns on distributions and reproductive success of birds. Currently, I am studying the distribution, abundance, and habitat associations of the endangered Florida Grasshopper Sparrow (http://www.wildflorida.org/bba/GRSP.htm ) in collaboration with Reed Bowman.
