| Activities | I am working with INHS and TNC scientists to quantify changes in land cover/land use and landscape connectivity in IL over the past 50 years and assess their associations with changing bird distributions in the state; I am also studying migratory and resident bird species distributions and movements in the northern Yucatan Peninsula. |
||
| Research |
My research focuses on avian-habitat associations, species distributions, and community structure at various spatial and temporal scales; the factors and processes driving those patterns; and birds’ short and long-term responses to natural and anthropogenic disturbances. I am interested in animal behavior, particularly habitat selection, movement/dispersal, and foraging ecology. Most of my research is done in the Yucatan Peninsula, where I have studied both Nearctic-Neotropical migratory songbirds and year-round resident passerines. I am also interested in evaluating acoustic recording systems for monitoring bird populations and communities. |
